Critical Practice Amsterdam
The LABO Prix Jardin d’Europe edition hosted by Het Veem Theater included, amongst other activities, a
Critical Practice edition (check the above mentioned report on the Labo Prix Jardin d’Europe 2017 edition for detailed information on the program).
During the whole festival there was a part of the program that the critic was present.
There was a group of young and upcoming Theatre critics, that besides the young artist that perform at Bâtard Festival, got the chance to get together and talk about and find new ways of critiquing work and being together for a longer period of time beside the actual performances. They created blogs, podcasts and presence during this edition of the festival.
