Arts critics can often be a factor in the success of arts events, but with the rise of blogging and social media, is the role of the professional arts critic coming under scrutiny? That’s just one of the questions being posed at new workshops for arts enthusiasts in South Wales. Co-ordinated by Bridgend County Borough Council’s Arts and Community Development team in partnership with Jake Orr, Director of A Younger Theatre, the FREE ‘Response’ workshops allow people who are interested in arts to join the conversation about arts criticism in Wales. Participants at the workshops can share their views on a variety issues, including the on-going relationships between arts critics, venues, producers and artists, critical responses to Welsh venues’ work, the star rating system, arts criticism in the Welsh language, and the future role of the arts critic. The first Response workshop, which will consist of a series of conversations about arts criticism, will take place at the Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff between 10am - 4pm on Saturday 7 September, before a social media and internet-based workshop at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, Cardiff between 10am - 3pm on Sunday 8 September.(place’s will be limited for the Sunday event) If you’re interested in attending please contact Guy O’Donnell, Arts Development Officer on (01656) 642727 or email guy.odonnell@bridgend.gov.uk |
