The secret to writing good criticism is maintaining a descriptive tone

The secret to writing good criticism is maintaining a descriptive tone in the writing as it speaks to what happened on stage rather than making the assumptions of what was intended, as is the case in a more prescriptive tone. For this week's discussion board assignment, I want you to adopt a descriptive tone as you answer the following question:

Tell us about your favorite production in the visual arts.

Some things to consider:

What form of media are we discussing here? Stage? Film? Etc.?
Why is it your favorite?
What are the moments that make it so meaningful to you?
Would you recommend it to others? Which others?
