Founder and artistic director of the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange, Ms. Lerman, who is known for her pioneering work in choreography and community-building is a gifted teacher, choreographer and performer. Her commitment is both to the human element in art-making and to the art of dance. In her work, she builds community, encourages personal insight, aspects of creation, performance and teaching.
After years of discussion with fellow artists, she devised a method for Critical Response that is being used with great success by teachers, collaborators, and workshop leaders in several parts of the country. Critical Response is a dynamic tool that can be used by teachers in classrooms across the curriculum.
