CPR – Center for Performance Research is dedicated to supporting artists in the development of new work in contemporary dance, performance, and time-based art. CPR forefronts the artistic process, and upholds a belief that embodied art forms are vital vessels for creativity, connection, and social change. CPR believes that a just and equal performing arts environment is aesthetically, racially, and ethnically diverse; inclusive of bodies of all backgrounds and abilities; committed to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ justice; and supportive of a broad range of embodied modes of expression. CPR’s programs support artistic creation at all stages of development, and provide artists with a wide range of opportunities for development, experimentation, and exchange. Programs are concentrated in three areas: 1) Artistic residency programs which provide creative and professional development support for a diverse range of artists working across contemporary performance practices; 2) Curated and open call public programs that focus on incubation and research, which expose local audiences and the wider NYC arts field to contemporary performance practice and process; and 3) a Subsidized Space Rental Program which ensures that artists can access affordable space for creation and presentation.
