Considering the relationship between digitally mediated audience engagement and the dance-making process

This chapter will explore the integration of audience feedback via a digitally mediated platform during the creative process of two new pieces of dance. It will consider how attempts to forge empathetic relationships between artists and audiences through digitally mediated interactions intersect with and intervene in the dance-making process. These themes will be explored through analysis of data gathered during the development of respond (February 2014-15); a digital adaptation of Liz Lerman’s Critical Response Process (CRP) (2002). The respond platform mediates interaction between audience and artist, taking them on a structured journey of critical enquiry to deepen their insights into the development of creative and artistic projects. This was explored through the process of adapting CRP, an established technique of soliciting feedback designed to support the needs of the artist/maker of work and develop effective modes of critical enquiry.
