THIS YEAR'S PROJECTS
This year Hope Street will be working in partnership with Tate Liverpool, Unity Theatre, Liverpool Biennial, Liverpool Lantern Company, Contact Theatre and other large and small arts organisations, locally and internationally.
All apprentices will participate in the following:
- a cross-art-form performance installation, inside and outside the Tate, inspired by the Picasso: Peace and Freedom exhibition. This project will be created by a combination of professional and emerging artists and community groups from across the city.
- a specially-devised section for the Lord Mayor's Parade
- a multi-media performance throughout the streets of Liverpool, as part of Liverpool's Biennial
- Pirates extravaganza involving synchronised swimmers - a large-scale outdoor musical performance at the Albert Dock
- a spectacle that will turn the Unity Theatre upside down and inside out, using every nook and cranny as a performance space

Training
All apprentices are introduced to each other's discipline by a specialist in
that area, in order that everyone has a basic knowledge of the skills
and possibilities available for the creation of work. In addition, each apprentice
is given specific training in their own art form and how this relates to each of the projects. This takes the form of workshops and short placements.
