Small Scale Theatre Company Development Several prominent North West theatre companies have benefited from Hope Street’s customised mentoring programme. This service is provided to companies emerging from the Hope Street Ltd Apprenticeship programme. It includes business planning support, action planning, marketing advice, artistic advice and networking opportunities as well as free rehearsal space and access to equipment. The companies currently benefiting from this scheme are Random Acts of Wildness, Caustic Widows, Suitcase Ensemble, Enchantment and Foolsproof. Previous theatre companies to benefit from this scheme include Spike, Capricho, Rejects Revenge, Tmesis Theatre and Ullaloom. "Hope Street has supported Tmesis since we set up as a company in 2003. Their advice,support,guidance and use of facilities and networks have been invaluable and helped us develop rapidly over the past four years. We are now an associate company of Hope Street and have an office space in the building; we also work in partnership on Physical Fest - an annual physical theatre workshop festival, and directed one of Hope Street's Apprenticeship projects in 2008." Elinor Randle, Tmesis Theatre Company. “In a complicated and potentially confusing arts arena, Hope Street has helped us to find the right path for our company. We would not be where we are today without them.” Jenny de Ornellas, Capricho. |
