It sources and provides a menu of quality, affordable arts events and activities for local promoters and their committees to choose from, which they feel would be most appropriate for their local community. b. Who it is for: Hog the Limelight is aimed at people who live in Hampshire’s rural/urban edge communities, where no such activity currently exists or where travelling long distances is needed to access such activity. The programme contains professional arts events aimed at appealing to a wide range of people of all ages. We work closely with local promoters, providing advice, marketing information and publicity, to enable them to achieve the most satisfactory results from their involvement with the scheme. c. How many people benefit and how do they benefit: In 2008/09 nine communities in East Hampshire took part in the scheme: Beech, Phoenix Bordon, Chawton, Conford, Greatham, Medstead, Selborne, Upper Wield, and Holybourne taking 19 arts events. Audiences are expected to be in the region of 1,100. In 2008/09 we have also been able to work with communities in a more individual way. We supported Holybourne Young Promoters Scheme, whereby a group of young people chose a piece of professional touring theatre from the Hog Showcase, to take place at their venue which they marketed themselves. This was very well received by an audience of 70 from the Youth Theatre and also adults. One of the professional music ensemble performances at Holybourne on 15 February 2009, will include young musicians from the Youth Theatre. d.
