Open Call for Citizen Reviewers

Do you enjoy going to the theatre? Do you find yourself bursting to speak up about what you had just watched?

Join us in the Citizens’ Reviews programme.

This is a 12-month process (September 2014 to August 2015*) that aims to guide theatre audience to generate informed observations about the productions they have watched, in the form of theatre reviews. The framework ensures that opinions and responses generated are underscored by some basic rigour in terms of foreknowledge and experience. It should not be a naïve barometer of likes and dislikes, but strive to be an insightful and discerning collection of views and reflections.

*update as at 25 December 2014: The 12-month term for 2015 is from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015.

 

Selected Citizen Reviewers will:

  • participate in workshops, round-table sessions or small-scaled seminars that facilitate the sharing of approaches, strategies and issues faced among reviewers;
  • be given tickets to attend local theatre productions of their choice;
  • write and submit reviews for editorial critique; and
  • have their bios and written reviews published on Centre 42’s website.
