The Technical Residency is closed to the public.

CPR welcomes interdisciplinary artist and writer Ni’Ja Whitson as the Fall 2021 Technical Resident.

Whitson will work on the development of The Unarrival Experiments, a constellation of art/works that explore dark matter and dark energy. At CPR, Whitson will develop writing, lighting, and embodied concepts, and investigate “layers of darkness” with lighting collaborator Tuçe Yasak, toward the development of an iteration of The Unarrival Experiments with an indoor performance installation titled Unconcealment Ceremonies.

CPR’s Technical Residency addresses the lack of advanced technical support made available to NYC dance and performance artists, and offers a unique opportunity for one week of unrestricted access to its theater, production staff, and technical equipment to support the development of new work.

Additional public programming in connection to the residency to-be-announced.
