HOIPOLLOI

Hoipolloi "attempts to celebrate people's imagination", taking the audience's mind into "fantastical worlds and blurring the line between reality and fantasy." Their work is playful, theatrical, physical and shows elements of humour.

Since 2005, Hoipolloi has been producing the work off emerging Welsh artist Hugh Hughes. In the last few years Hoipolloi’s artistic focus has been producing the work of Hugh Hughes. This year we’re helping Hugh, his brother Derywn and sister Delyth bring Stories from an Invisible Town to life. They rely solely on funding and receive funding from many projects such as, Arts Council Arts, The British Council and the National Lottery Arts Project and through the donations of the general public.

There work reaches behind the stage in a very real way and engages audiences directly through a mixture off live performance and online digital context, there main objective is to tell joyful stories which entertain audiences whilst playfully challenging their sense of reality.

Hoipolloi was set up in 1994 by Shon Dale-Jones and Stefanie Mueller, they are based in Cambridge and have produced 17 new theatre shows, a film, and a range of online content, they are big promoters off community life and recently were seen with this street recruitment campaign.
