Dear CPR
I very much support the continued funding of the Centre for Performance Research and feel the withdrawal of government funding is a real loss to an area of very important and very relevant research.

This is particularly true in respect of an increased use of mediatisation where dissemination is required through live medium. From a university lecturer point of view i detect an increased demand for live work which is probably because it offers a sharp perspective and contrast to mediatiatised communication systems. We appear to be wanting to reinstate our identities as real people as opposed to virtual people and that is why performance research is vital to the health of our communities.
