Blogging and Criticism
George Hunka requests that us fellow theatre bloggers (I guess I still am that) post the following announcement for a very interesting and worthwhile event going on tomorrow.
I can't imagine anyone interested in this who reads this journal who doesn't also follow George's essential Superfluities, but just in case, here ya go:
Here's the lineup for the panel discussion on blogging and criticism
that I'll be moderating tomorrow at CUNY's Segal Center:
* For a little international flair we can't do better than Alison Croggon of theatre notes, who will join us telephonically from Melbourne, Australia. Alison's an accomplished, prize-winning poet and playwright; she also edits the Australian literary magazine Masthead.
* From the associate producer's desk at Performance Space 122 and wearing his editor-in-chief hat for culturebot.org , Andy Horwitz will join us (in person) about the challenges of running a blog for the downtown theatre community, and his (and others') visions of what the blogosphere can do to support and energize this community.
* Also in person will be Matthew Johnston, whose theatre conversation and political frustration seeks to stress "the creation of a dialogue and encourage multiple perspectives in theatre and performance." Matt also writes reviews for nytheatre.com . He's directed plays by Sheila Callaghan and many others; most recently he was most cruelly abused by director, playwright, and cast as the stage manager for In Public.
Please join us at 6:30pm tomorrow, Wednesday, November 15, at the Graduate Center's Martin E. Segal Theatre, 365 Fifth Avenue at 34th Street. Admission is free – even as we run up the Segal Center's long distance bill to new astronomical heights.
I probably won't make it as I'm spending a couple days mostly off from the Havel Festival attending to those essential parts of life that get ignored for weeks as you put up a show, but I'm still very tempted to hear this group speak.
