CRITICAL RESPONSE PROCESS (CRP) FACILITATOR

Kerry has developed a close working relationship with our International Advisor and Mentor, and Critical Response Process founder – Liz Lerman – and is able to offer permitted and supported expert CRP facilitation for a range of projects. Understanding the value of giving and receiving appropriately-timed and considered feedback, Kerry navigates this system with sensitivity and dialogic skill. This work is available at the beginnings, part-way and the completion of projects, to gain the necessary evaluation to keep marching forwards.

 

Kerry Nicholls is totally rigorous and uniquely supportive whether she is teaching, mentoring, choreographing, or simply being a colleague…an amazing listener whose insights can make such a difference in this world”
