Giving time up from their varied day jobs, a group of the city’s most senior
names, under the leadership of PwC’s Mark Smith, form the Birmingham
Hippodrome Theatre Development Trust (picture top left) which serves to
offer advocacy and support for the theatre’s fundraising efforts.
Since its creation the Development Trust has secured millions, most notably
during the public appeal for the award-winning 1999-2001 redevelopment
project, and subsequently in 2012 through the successful £1m Stage Appeal
campaign. Currently the focus of all fundraising is Hippodrome Plus, the
theatre’s ambitious and varied Education, Access and Outdoor programme.
The range of Trustee involvement is just as varied as their professional
backgrounds. Development Trust Chair Mark Smith takes up the story...
“The variety of Trustee support for the theatre is second to none. Some, like
me, are individual patrons. Others engage their teams through a corporate
membership. There are those who host Patron events or tables at Gala
Dinners and there are Trustee relationships that involve sponsorship of some
of the theatre’s private hospitality suites. And not forgetting the enterprising
initiative of the female Trustees who launched and have sponsored the
Leading Ladies business network since August 2011.”
Our thanks go to all past and present Development Trustees.

CUTTING EDGECURTAIN RAISERBRINGS THEHOUSE DOWNTalented young dancers aged 12-18years from across the city graced themain stage (twice) to perform aspecial Curtain Raiser to full housesbefore performances of MatthewBourne’s Edward Scissorhands.Participating dancers came from Birmingham OrmistonAcademy, Stratford-upon-Avon College, Walsall Collegeand, for the first time, Elmhurst School of Dance. Theproject, now in its sixth year, is a major collaborationbetween the Hippodrome’s Creative Learning team andRe:Bourne, the charitable arm of Matthew Bourne’s NewAdventures company.
With families and friends in the audience the atmospherein the auditorium was electric.
Five of the talented young dancers also took on the roleof choreographers and drew on the show’s family-based,character driven storyline. With tongues firmly in cheekthe piece entitled Family Life wittily exploredrelationships in, among others, the aptly-named‘Washengo’ and ‘Bling’ families.
The Curtain Raiser series focuses on creating the nextgeneration of dancers and choreographers, offeringthem expert tuition, as well as backstage experiencesincluding stage make-up from trained practitioners.
Helping shape the young dancers’ material were NewAdventures dancer Paul Smethurst and localchoreographer and dance artist, Clare Palethorpe.
Inspired by Matthew Bourne’s personal encouragementand from other company members, our generousaudiences raised over £1,500 at the bucket collectionsto be shared between the two companies – woop woop!

When Hippodrome Plus goes out and about, it reallygoes to town and the About Town project, apartnership with the IKON Gallery as part of its 50thanniversary celebrations, was no exception.
About Town, an exhibition of international video art took place inSouthside, our immediate neighbouring part of the city and aBusiness Improvement District (BID). Showcasing a wide variety offree night-screenings in unusual urban spaces by artists from theUK, this innovative collaboration featured a number of newcommissions as well as work from established and critically-acclaimed artists.
Among the participating artists was former Turner Prize winnerGillian Wearing whose Broad Street focussed its attention onBirmingham’s frenetic night-life.
Hippodrome corporate partners Gallan Group hosted large-scaleinstallations in its Hurst Street car park, which was transformedinto a vast indoor landscape of moving imagery and ambientsound.
Paul Garry of Gallan Group commented “As a neighbouringorganisation, Gallan is delighted, along with the GoochEstate, to help facilitate unique Hippodrome projectsthat promote Southside, and which encourage morevisitors into this vibrant area of the city.”
Meanwhile visitors to the Hippodrome were met by a flurry of foyeractivity and what appeared to be stray cats drinking from bowls ofmilk laid down by Adel Abdessemed inhis work Happiness in Mitte.
Thank you to Arts CouncilEngland and Southside BusinessImprovement District for theirsupport of About Town.
