Hoipolloi offers a Master Class in London

Following Hoipolloi's month-long residency with Hugh Hughes at the Barbican and tours to Edinburgh, Dublin and Newcastle, our Artistic Director, Shon Dale-Jones offers you the chance to be part of a Hoipolloi Master Class. This will be a day-long event, running from 10am to 6pm, on Sunday 5 December 2010.

Revealing the secrets behind improvisation and free play which underpin the creation and development of every Hoipolloi show, this Master Class allows you to enter the fantastical world of Hoipolloi as rehearsal room meets playground.

Driven by imagination and laughter, Hoipolloi will help you unlock your creative potential and find the drama and the comedy inside every anecdote and experience. This is your opportunity to release and revel in the anarchy of the imagination.

You can find out more about Hoipolloi's work with emerging Welsh artist Hugh Hughes on his website at www.hughhughes.me

The Master Class takes places in the Jerwood Space on Union Street, London.

There is a strictly limited number of places, so book early to avoid disappointment! Master Class places cost £65 per person and can be booked by contacting Richard on 01223 322748 or via email on richard@hoipolloi.org.uk
