CPR continues its highly successful series of international workshops in CROSS-CURRENTS, Spring 2005. If you are a professional performer or singer, an experienced enthusiast or simply curious and keen to explore your creativity in performance, this programme of workshops offers many opportunities to learn new skills from some of the best practitioners working in the world today. Develop new skills or practice existing ones in voice, movement, theatre and performance, and those working in a health or social services setting might be especially interested in Theatre Nomad’s workshop looking at loss and bereavement. Take part across Wales and challenge yourself! At Powys Dance in Llandrindod Wells, on February 19th – 20th, we have a MOVEMENT / VOICE WORKSHOP with SILKE MANSHOLT in which participants will be guided to create short solo performances and encouraged to use meditation, shamanic practices, expressionistic movement, and work with sound and music as inspiration. On February 26th – 27th, EMMA HARRIS is leading a GOSPEL AND FREE IMPROVISATION WORKSHOP at the University of Wales, Bangor, a harmony singing workshop emphasising enjoyment and community. LUKE DIXON of THEATRE NOMAD is leading a LOSS AND BEREAVEMENT THEATRE WORKSHOP in Aberystwyth on March 5th – 6th, looking at how theatre skills can explore loss and bereavement, based on a pioneering programme developed at London’s Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. There is a CONTACT IMPROVISATION WORKSHOP led by MATILDA LEYSER on March 19th – 20th, which will be held at the Swansea Institute, in partnership with Volcano Theatre Co. The workshop is suitable for anyone who likes to move, it can be equally accessible and challenging to those with no previous movement experience as it can to the experienced dancer. For anyone who requires further information about any of the weekends, CPR can send a list of B&Bs and budget accommodation options.

Based on a pioneering programme developed by Theatre Nomad at London’s Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in which theatrical representations of situations of loss were used as a training tool for nurses dealing with real situations. The workshop concludes with an exploration of the role of the spectator in the performance of grief and the creation of a tableau of loss. £50 (£25 concession) March 19 – 20, 10am – 5pm (4pm Sunday) Presented in collaboration with Volcano Theatre Co. at Swansea Institute MATILDA LEYSER CONTACT IMPROVISATION Contact improvisation is a movement practice where two or more people move together, dancing in and out of physical contact. Movement can be fast and dynamic or more soft and subtle. In this workshop we will roll, spiral, spring, support and fall, learning how to do so safely in relation to the ground and to each other. Suitable for anyone who likes to move, it can be equally accessible and challenging to those with no previous movement experience as it can to the experienced dancer. It is a gentle, dancing form of clowning, encouraging sensitivity, playfulness and presence. £50 (£25 concession) Antony Pickthall Marketing & Development Director Centre for Performance Research (CPR) 6, Science Park, Aberystwyth, SY23 3AH Tel: +44 (0) 1970 621571 Fax: +44 (0) 1970 622132 E-mail: aop@aber.ac.uk www.thecpr.org.uk |
