Teaching Team

As a CPPM student, you will be working with some of the most innovative, exciting, and renowned international directors, choreographers, artists and companies who have had an impact on the field of contemporary performance and who continue to create ground-breaking work. All have created their own artistic language, vision and unique methodologies, and share the mission of training the next generation of innovative performance makers.

Core Team

The core teaching team comprises committed tutors who will offer ongoing support and guidance during your two-year study journey with us. They are vital in leading essential courses and modules, mentoring your artistic growth, supervising your academic development, and coaching your professional progress. In contrast to guest artists, who visit intermittently, the core teaching team is a stable presence, steering you through the intensive two-year program.
