Cooper Controls are pleased to announce their partnership with the Phoenix Artist Club to provide a London Training Centre for their Zero 88 lighting control products.Situated in the heart of the West End (below the Phoenix Theatre on Charing Cross Road), the Phoenix Artist Club is perfectly placed for the theatre community and will play host to Zero 88’s regular training sessions and product demo days.
The Phoenix Artist Club stands out as a unique venue, full of character and charm. It is located in the original dressing and rehearsal rooms of the Phoenix Theatre where Laurence Olivier made his stage debut in "Private Lives" with Noel Coward and Gertrude Lawrence.
To mark the beginning of the collaboration Cooper Controls recently sponsored the winner’s prize for ‘Talent 2011’ at The Criterion Theatre, Piccadilly Circus, in aid of The Theatrical Guild – the charity for front of house and back stage staff.
Organised by Stand Well Back and The Phoenix Artist Club, Talent 2011 was the gala finale of the search for the West End’s next Musical Theatre star, with guest judge Elaine Paige. The event was won by Rosanna Colclough, who beat ten other incredibly talented finalists with the song “Taylor, The Latte Boy”. The charity evening also featured guest performances from current Musical Theatre headliners Sally Ann Triplett (Mamma Mia!, Chicago), Oliver Tompsett (Wicked) and Tim Howar (Rent, Broadway).
Cooper Controls are also pleased to announce their schedule of ORB console training courses based at the Phoenix Artist Club.
