How to Raise a Theatre Critic
How to Raise a Theatre Critic

Summary/Abstract: This paper considers one of the primary (and increasingly distant) meanings of “theatre criticism” perceived as writing reviews /analyses/studies on theatre. One of the real problems of the contemporary Romanian theatre is related to a continuous postponement of the emergence of a wave of young critics who would not only mirror, but also revive the theatrical landscape. How to identify the predispositions for theatre criticism? How to develop these predispositions? How to convince that doing theatre criticism is more than a passing hobby? These are questions that the professors of the Romanian Theatre Studies Departments are frequently obliged to answer. This study aims to indicate a series of methods and practices verified over time, able to complete the training process of the young theatre critic.
