If you're a regular reader of this blog, particularly anyone who has been a visitor here since we launched this space all the way back in the 2007, you'll know that over that period, we've offered internships to four talented individuals at the start of their arts careers.
We're really proud of what Sara, David, Marieke and Richard achieved during their time with us and I thought this might be an opportune moment to share with you what they are up to now!
Sara
This blogpost flashed into my mind when onto my Twitter stream popped the following video, with a very recognisable face staring back. After Sara left Hoipolloi she studied acting at Central School of Speech and Drama and is now working with friends to create these little vignette's once a month...
There's more information on Mono Pops and what they're up to right here
David
When David left Hoipolloi he headed off for two years at the Lecoq School in Paris (following in Shon and Steffi's footsteps). When he graduated last year, he started up his own company called Let Slip and can now be found up at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a show called Machines for Living
Machines for Living is now running at the Zoo until 27 August at 3.30pm. More info here.
Marieke
Marieke's path away from Hoipolloi lead her to Birkbeck's Theatre Directing course, which she'll be finishing in September. As part of the course, she spent eight months working with the lovely folks up at Sheffield Theatres (assisting Daniel Evans, Richard Wilson and Lyndsey Turner) and has recently produced and directed a production of Terrance Rattigan's While the Sun Shines.
Richard
Our most recent intern Richard left us back in 2011 to return to Hull and the Merge Arts Festival that he co-founded and runs. This year he'll also be found at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe working with Awkward Cough and their show The Election: A Silent Comedy, running now at the Bedlam Theatre until 18 August at 6.30pm. More info here.
Oh, and while we're talking about shows to see at the Fringe, you might also be interested that Shon and Steffi's daughter (and Hoipolloi's finest Edinburgh flyerer) Josie also has a show at the festival this year. You can see her in Spaghetti Junction at the Bedlam Theatre from 13 to 18 August (at 12.30pm). More info here.
(by the way, that's Sara dressed as the Doubtful Guest for a photo shoot back in 2008!)
