Serving as an incubator for the creation of new work, CPR – Center for Performance Research invites the public into the artistic process through Performance Studio Open House, a monthly series of informal works-in-progress showings held regularly throughout the year. Each installment is curated by a distinct CPR staff member or affiliate, and features a diverse group of choreographers and dancers from CPR’s community of renters. The series is free to the public, who are invited to share feedback in post-showing conversations.
Free admission. $5 donation encouraged at the door (cash only).
