Liz Lerman’s Critical Response Process: Introductory workshop
With an introduction by Julia Akerly and Allyson Yoder of [nueBOX]
Join Macarthur “Genius Grant” recipient Liz Lerman for an introductory workshop on her Critical Response Process (CRP), a facilitated structure for giving and getting feedback on artistic works in progress. Grounded in principles of meaning, inquiry, and dialogue, it is designed to leave the maker eager and motivated to get back to work on the project under consideration. This workshop will introduce the four steps of CRP and explore the values that support useful critique through conversation, participation, and reflection.
Participants in this introductory workshop will have priority registration privileges for a one-day CRP intensive presented by [nueBOX] in November.
Cost: $10
Workshop size is limited to 30 participants.
Join Richard Montoya, co-founder of Chicano theatre group Culture Clash, for a writing and acting workshop. Participants will focus on the use of satire and humor to address social and culturally relevant content. This workshop is ideal for playwrights and actors whose work addresses identity and social justice.
The workshop will be introduced by Ricky Araiza, Artistic Director of Teatro Bravo.
Workshop size is limited to 15 participants. Advance registration is required. http://conta.cc/2fartMT

Join us for a lecture with contemporary Mexican artist Betsabeé Romero, as part of her Phoenix residency April 3-10.

Romero has realized more than 30 individual exhibitions in México, the United States and Europe, and has participated in a large number of residencies and international biennials. Her work is part of important collections, including: The British Museum, Daros Collection in Switzerland, Phoenix Art Museum, Nelson & Atkins Nevada Museum of Art, World Bank in Washington D.C., Gelman (México), MOCA Los Angeles, and The Museum of Contemporary Art of Porto Alegre (Brazil).
