DARE Collective Reviews

Between 2020 and Early 2024, DARE Collective and it's associated artists were encouraged to write theatrical reviews for productions that they see, as a proponent of learning and growing our practice through the observation and critical analysis of our peers.

Our reviews were designed as an honest and constructive opinion so that audiences and peers can be aware of what is put into a show and what is required for it's success. They are also strongly recommended to be encouraging to the general public to support more theatre.  

Our team of reviewers were asked to stick within the following parameters and specifics:

  • A 1000 word limit

  • An analysis of the Who, What, Where, How and most importantly Why?

  • Highlighting observations that align with DARE Collectives key principles including Risk and Collaboration.

  • Be Encouraging.

 

After their discontinuation in 2024, our reviews have remained online as a reminder and reference point to anyone wanting further analysis on the work produced in Launceston and its surrounds. These reviews have never, and will never, be used as a means to degrade or prop up, but simply as a reference of growth and learning. 

Theatre is an art form that will be reviewed and analysed as soon as it is put to the public, and anyone who wants to be an artist should use that feedback to continue to learn how to become better.
