CPR History FOR THE CURIOUS opening worlds of performance The Centre for Performance Research (CPR) was established in Cardiff in 1988, by Richard Gough and Judie Christie. CPR's predecessor was Cardiff Laboratory Theatre, which began in 1974. A PERFORMANCE COSMOLOGY: Testimony from the Future, Evidence of the Past Richard Gough, Judie Christie and Daniel Watt (Editors) Routledge,an imprint of Taylor & Francis Books Ltd - 2006 Exploring thirty years of work by The Centre for Performance Research (CPR), "A Performance Cosmology" explores the future challenges of performance and theatre through a diverse and fascinating series of interviews, testimonies and perspectives from leading international theatre practitioners and academics. The contributors include: Philip Auslander, Rustom Bharucha, Tim Etchells, Jane Goodall, Guillermo Gomez-Pena, Jon Mckenzie, Claire MacDonald, Susan Melrose, Alphonso Lingis, Richard Schechner, Rebecca Schneider, Edward Scheer and Freddie Rokem. "A Performance Cosmology" is structured as a travelogue through a matrix of strategic, imaginary, interdisciplinary field stations. This innovative framework enables readings, which disrupt linearity and afford different forms of thematic engagement. The resulting volume opens entirely new vistas on the old, new, and as yet unimagined, worlds of performance.
