hope street apprenticeships 2008
12th May - 8th October 2008

Building on the critically-acclaimed apprenticeship programme of 2007, Hope Street has developed this programme, attracting high-profile artists from the UK and Europe, to run six highly-innovative and experimental pieces of work. This work ranges from a mile-long sound installation, to the creation of designs for a piece of public art, to a large-scale outdoor performance.

The programme is suitable for people with some experience in their respective field, who wish to expand their horizons and learn further applications for their chosen art form.

The projects on the apprenticeship programme this year are Streets Ahead Liverpool, About Another Place, 37, Message from the Flight Path, Market of Optimism and Time.
The programme will also involve initial training and business matters.

Our 2008 programme provides places for:
  • 4 workshop leaders (in a variety of artforms, e.g. drama, design, film making)
  • 5 actors
  • 1 director
  • 1 musical director
  • 1 production manager
  • 1 filmmaker
  • 3 designer/ makers (set, costume, graphic)
  • 1 lighting designer
  • 1 sound designer
  • 1 press and marketing

The deadline for 2008 applications has now passed, but if you are interested in applying for our 2009 programme, please contact helen@hope-street.org.

In the meantime, why not apply to do some of our workshops. This could strengthen your chances of getting a place on the 2009 programme!
