Situated in the heart of the West End (below the Phoenix Theatre on Charing Cross Road), the Phoenix Artist Club will play host to Zero 88's regular training sessions and product demo days.
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 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 has also announced their schedule of ORB console training courses based at the Phoenix Artist Club. These training events are open to anyone who has recently purchased or is considering purchasing an ORB series console, or anyone looking to extend their range of console knowledge. Places must be booked in advance.
The London training dates for 2011 are: 10 March, 14 April, 12 May, 9 June, 14 July, 11 August, 8 September, 13 October, 10 November and 8 December.
The London courses are being run by Richard Lambert and last from 10.30 - 16.00. They are free of charge and include a light buffet lunch.
