Sometimes we can become very closed and precious about our work and find it difficult to open it up for feedback. However, ultimately we are making work for others, so a work in progress performance or presentation is essential to test if what we are hoping to communicate can be communicated.
To support the delicate process of giving feedback the choreographer Liz Lerman developed a system called the Critical Response Process.
Please read the following pages on the link below about the system and offer your comments about how effective you think this might be.

The Use of E-portfolios
The best way to understand what an e-portfolio is is bascially an electronic version of a logbook (sorry yes I used the L word). The advantages of an e-portfolio is that you can offer invited participants to comment on your work making the documentation more interactive and open. It can be a one-stop shop that contains your blog, films, your own network and can contain both public and private pages. There are also some really interesting templates and formats to make your e-portfolio unique to you.
E-portfolios are also a great way to showcase your CV as you can show potential employers or universities photographs and films of your work simply by sending a link to your e-portfolio.
You can either purchase an e-portfolio (I have used Pebblepad which was very easy to use, you can find out a bit more about Pebblepad here) . Or there are free e-porfoilos available, my colleagues are currently using Mahara details of which can be found here.
Happy exploring!
