"A national pioneer keenly aware of the value of the vast resources on its doorstep."
- Total Theatre, Winter 2007.
hope street is dedicated to the development of artists, artforms and
arts in the community.
This award-winning organisation has
been central to the development of physical theatre, carnival arts,
participatory arts, young people’s theatre, international arts and cross
art form collaboration.

Many artists that trained here have established
award-winning companies, e.g. Momentum, Spike Theatre,
the Big
Wow, Random Acts of Wildness, Suitcase Ensemble and Ullaloom.

Our community engagement programmes aim to combat social exclusion and raise the standard and
expectation of community arts.

Is there life after
'Capital of Culture'?
During 2008, hope street's director, Peter Ward, has been sharing the information he gathered during his tour around Europe last year. He researched the impact that Capital of Culture had on the small and medium sized arts organisations of each city.
He has made presentations to the Arts Council England, LARC, the Small & Medium Arts Collective (SMAC) and at the Euro Cities and Community Xchange Network’s conferences. He has also informed the Cultural Strategy for Liverpool and presented to the Scrutiny Panel appointed to oversee the implementation of the strategy.
Peter also visited Creation Centres with a view to developing a similar centre for Liverpool. His research took him to Turkey, Croatia, Greece, Romania, Portugal, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands and France.
