Project Outlines for 2009 Apprenticeship Programme
|
Fool Spectrum
Directed by internationally-renowned street theatre and performance company Cocoloco, this project combines installation and
performance to create an evening event throughout the Tate Liverpool and
the Albert Dock.
This project combines professional and community performance and
exhibition work to create a multi-art form festival evening at the Tate.
Performance and installation will combine sound design, film, digital design,
design, performance and the surreal to tie in to the colour chart exhibition.

About Another Place
'About Another Place' will culminate in an exhibition and performance at
Crosby Beach, using Antony Gormley’s 'Another Place' as a backdrop, on 5th September.

The Big Nosh
This project is a large scale street theatre performance. The project will make
up the street element of the Hope Street Feast, a food and drink market
combined with open days for all the arts organisations and businesses along
Hope Street in Liverpool.
The theme for the performance will be around cafés and restaurants. Each
installation will involve a different type of café experience from the sublime to
the ridiculous. There may be cafés half way up walls, mobile cafés,
restaurants set on a beach or simply someone to treat you like a Roman
Emperor. Each individual café will be manned by performers to give the
audience a new experience when eating their sausage butty.

Liverpool’s Second Brazilian Carnival
Following the success of the first Brazilian Carnival, Liverpool Samba School
will be putting together another all-singing all-dancing Brazilian Carnival
Parade. The Rio-style carnival promises to be a truly exciting
evening event, with irresistible rhythms, extravagant costumes and
floats. In true Brazilian Samba style, there is guaranteed to be
plenty of glitz and glamour. Hope Street apprentices will be
developing their own part of this parade.
|
Initial training
All apprentices will be introduced to each other's discipline by a specialist in
that area, in order that all participants will have a basic knowledge of the skills
and possibilities available for the creation of work. In addition, each apprentice
will be given specific training in their own art form and how this relates to all
the others. This will take the form of workshops and short placements.
