Dear Richard Gough and Judie Christie,
By this letter we would like to express our sincere support to the Centre for Performance Research in Wales and our deepest concern about the Arts Council of Wales intended funding cut to the CPR.
DasArts, the postgraduate education for the performing arts in Amsterdam, has been in a close relationship with the CPR and its artistic team ever since the founding of DasArts in 1993. Together with a group of international artists DasArts has participated in the conference ‘Performance, Tourism and Identity’ from 4th to the 8th September 1996, organised by the Centre for Performance Research. During Block 7 ‘A Hunger Artist’ in 1997, Richard Gough was invited as a guest teacher at the DasArts premises, creating a famous ‘Black Dinner’. From 20th September to the 26th November 1999 Mr Gough curated the 10 week study programme in Amsterdam of Block 11 ‘What’s Cooking? Still Life, Turbulent recipes’. Also in 2004 there was a connection between our institutions, when a student exchange took place and one of our graduating participants studied at CPR.
Needless to say, that we are convinced of the unique position the CPR holds in the international fields of research, performance and training. Their skills and experience is an asset for theatre-institutions, such as DasArts, across the world and cannot be missed.
Yours sincerely,
Lieve Baert
Business Director
DasArts, Amsterdam
