Laboratory on Feedback in Artistic Processes 2
In its second edition the "Laboratory on Feedback in Artistic Processes" pays particular focus on “audiences” feedback within performing arts. Feedback is happening everywhere, and everything is feedbackable. But what is the value of public audience feedback? What kind of feedback is needed where? Why do we differentiate between specialist and general public audiences? How can we think beyond helping the artist and making an artwork better? How can it feed the bigger picture by enabling critical, rigorous feedback as a development for all citizens participating in a public event? Can public feedback then begin to shape communities and the wider public sphere? The second “Laboratory on Feedback in Artistic Processes” contained presentations and try-outs of different feedback methods and approaches. The format “Feedback Lab goes Public” in collaboration with Tanztage Berlin 2015 / Sophiensaele and mapping dance berlin /Tanzbüro Berlin offered the opportunity to test feedback methods directly with the artists and audiences of the festival.

How would you like feedback culture to develop?<br />
“I th<strong>in</strong>k the really important elements are to be very clear about<br />
what you are us<strong>in</strong>g this tool of audience feedback for. So is it<br />
to <strong>in</strong>crease the competence of your audience, is it to expand<br />
your audience, is it to br<strong>in</strong>g the artist <strong>in</strong>to account, to stand up<br />
and be accountable for what they have d<strong>on</strong>e, is that what we<br />
are try<strong>in</strong>g to do? Are you want<strong>in</strong>g to help the artist clarify their<br />
communicati<strong>on</strong>? Who is the feedback for? Is it for the artist or<br />
for the public?”<br />
