A dance teacher critiques original choreography by a student and asks her peers to participate in the process. Theater teachers give an in-depth critique, then ask the student for feedback on their teaching. And a visual art teacher helps students develop their observation and analysis skills, helping them learn to be their own best critics. 59 minutes.
