Residencies

CPR’s residency programs support the development and creation of new dance and performance work.

Technical Residency

CPR’s Technical Residency focuses on experimentation and collaboration during mid- and late-stages of development. The weeklong residency includes daily use of the large studio/theater, access to CPR’s technical resources, and technical support provided by CPR’s resident Technical Director, with the option to present at the culmination of the residency in CPR’s theater. Artists are invited to apply.

With generous support from the National Endowment for the Arts, CPR’s inaugural tech residency was held in May 2016, with selected artist collective The Median Movement comprised of choreographers Xan Burley and Alex Springer, sound designer Will Owen, movement artist Hsiao-Jou Tang, and lighting designer Andy Dickerson.
