- Avoid critiquing the character of the performer
- Limit the critique to the content of the performance
- End critique with a tangible suggestion for improvement; focus on solutions
- Don't sugarcoat; be authentic about complimentary feedback
- Be factual/detailed in feedback --> specificity; take specific piece that you saw in the performance and address them
- Don't be vague
- Be instructional
- Be balanced/inclusive of both positive and critical
- Follow through with people
- Avoid generic language (i.e. "that was good")
- Monitor subjectivity -- investigate where the subjective response comes from
- Monitor tone - posture, eye contact, attentiveness, facial expression
Guidelines for receiving critiques/feedback
- Body language- open, receptive, eye contact, return the nonverbals
- Remember critiques are subjective
- Nonattachment
- Process before responding (respond, don't react)
- Critically assess critiques; don't outright reject them
- Ask for clarification
- Ask for process check-ins
- Embrace failure
