hope street's internationally-renowned Emerging Artists Programme will start in June 2012 and will run for 6 months.
This is a full-time programme that provides participants with the opportunity to work with some of the world's leading artists.
Events to be produced this year include a site-specific performance in partnership with Tate Liverpool, inspired by the Monet, Turner, Twombly exhibition; 'Innovasion 2', in partnership with Liverpool Biennial and taking place in Everton; and a mini-Olympics, as part of this year's Hope Street Feast.
hope street provides opportunities for internationally-renowned artists to push the boundaries of their own work, take risks and produce innovative site-specific performance; all of these projects provide opportunities for emerging artists to be at the centre of the work.
In recent years projects have been led by Hilary Westlake, Volksrekorders, Mark Murphy, Tmesis, Cocoloco, Montserrat Gili, Amanda Stoodley, Mischief La Bas and Dusko Sibl.

This is what hope street's emerging artists have to say about the programme…
“...inspired and realistic...”
“I know a lot more about acting, Liverpool, how to make theatre and working collaboratively”
“I felt respected”
“It felt nice to have a free reign to work…develop confidence in the abilities I already had and to take on new things…soaked up new ideas and made good relationships”
“The practical experience has allowed me to feel confident in applying for jobs and approaching companies and directors”
“an excellent creative hub”
“Hope Street Ltd is an opportunity-driven family that offers endless support and exciting new ventures for upcoming Actors, Directors, Designers and Production Managers… inspiring and life changing”
“… It is so valuable to someone starting out in theatre and I would recommend it to anyone”
