      I really enjoyed this convo between @RobKendt and @josesolismayen in part because it made room for real substantive disagreement about what criticism is for and what a critic is supposed to do or be:https://www.americantheatre.org/2020/10/07/jose-solis-the-critic-as-cheerleader-and-critics-lab-leader/ …

      I'm not sure I agree with Jose's assertion that the norms around conflict of interest are, "another form of white supremacy and gatekeeping" but one thing researching the Method has driven home to me is that these norms really *are* flexible and (should) change over time

      One reason why norms around conflicts of interest came into place is that Broadway producers would literally put reviewers on payroll as "consultants" and then... wow! what a surprise! get good reviews from them. So I think they serve a purpose, but...

      ... it's also true that Harold Clurman, who a lot of people (including many of his peers) considered the greatest of theatre critic of the second half of the 20th century, had worked *frequently* with many of the people whose work he was critiquing!

      He even reviewed work, under a pseudonym, while running the Group! His protegee was Elia Kazan, and he regularly reviewed Kazan's work. He even got the job directing the tour of Streetcar because of his review of the play on Broadway! Totally bizarre by today's standards.

      Also bizarre: Pauline Kael's friendships with people she reviewed for the New Yorker. And of course if you look at the UK music press in the post-punk era, part of why it was so great (and of such benefit to the form) is actually because it was rife with conflicts of interest.

      Clement Greenberg was totally social with painters he wrote about, to the point where he gave them advice on what they should be doing with their art (and they would give him paintings).

          Greenberg was so socially enmeshed with painters that he viewed their their works-in-progress and impacted their ability to keep going or caused them to change direction.

          Mary Gabriel writes about this movingly in Ninth Street Women, how Clem's snideness during a studio visit caused Lee Krasner cut short what is now considered the stretch of some of her best work. (While he was living with Helen Frankenthaler, so - there's that, too.)
