Working with CPR

LOCATED IN WALES working nationally and internationally

CPR ASSOCIATE ARTISTS
In addition to its successful internship scheme, CPR has introduced an Associate Artist scheme to provide support to individual artists. Our first Associate artist invited to this scheme was Ailsa Richardson and our current Associate Artists are Anushiye Yarnell, Gareth Llŷr and Louise Ritchie.

CPR ARTISTS' RESIDENCIES AT THE FOUNDRY
The new facilities of The Foundry Studio now make possible the development of artist residencies here at CPR; ranging at the one end from simply using The Foundry to rehearse or for closed laboratory work, to more integrated models of exchange and sharing - such as salons, open rehearsals, informal work in progress showings, workshops & teaching, public performance, interviews, talks and presentations - CPR artist residencies can have both a Wales and an international dimension, and initially will focus on two periods each year, in summer (August) and winter (January/ February). For further information or to find out to apply for an artists' residency please contact CPR.

CPR was delighted to welcome Vivien Mousdell as CPR Foundry Artist in Residence Winter 2007/ Spring 2008, in association with Safle.

POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS
We would like to welcome Jim Woolley and Alison Matthews who will be working with CPR whilst completing their Postgraduate Research Studentships at Aberystwyth University.

Jim Woolley
The voices of past performance masters have let their presence be known… As well as library work part of my PhD studentship means working deep within the audio depths of CPR. From interviews with the greats, through to rather unusual sound effects, the audio archive plays host to past events, productions, and practitioners. The practice of archiving will be inherent in my research, as I attempt to ‘Queer[y] the Archive’.

Alison Matthews is a performer and researcher working on a PhD through Aberystwyth University, through which she was awarded a 2011 Departmental Studentship and Aberystwyth International Postgraduate Research Scholarship. Her work with the CPR is mainly on Performance Research, where she manages issue correspondence, digital archiving, and calls-for-papers. Her PhD focuses on transaction and exchange in the field of performance studies, "playing" with dramaturgies of capitalism, specifically service economy, to find new modes of valuing performance in and outside the theatre space through practices such as cabaret, markets, and one-to-one interactions..
