Made In England



Hoipolloi will be celebrating St. George's Day with the BBC and Arts Council England. If you're on a train coming into London on Thursday, watch out! You might meet one of the colourful, larger-than-life characters Hoipolloi will be creating to let loose on unsuspecting commuters...

Made In England is an artistic adventure, assembled by the BBC and Arts Council England, taking place all over the country on Thursday 23rd April. The project aims to explore England through its people and its art. It’s a contemporary take on our national identity, which will show how England continues to inspire creativity.

Next week, Hoipolloi will be developing ideas for a series of improvised performances taking place on trains and railway platforms between Milton Keynes and St. Pancras. We’re just one of many artists and groups of theatre-makers taking part. The project also encompasses poetry, visual art and music.
Highlights will be broadcast all day on BBC television, radio and websites. And Hoipolloi will be joining in a rendition of a “new national anthem”, developed as part of the project and performed at St. Pancras station to kick start the event!

There’s loads more information here. Don’t forget to tune in or come and say hello in person!
