The company has under taken numerous creative curricular projects in both primary and secondary schools. Many of which have been part of the Creative Partnerships Programme. The company have strong connections with Cre8us, who co-ordinate the delivery of the Creative Partnerships for Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull and have undertaken training and professional development courses developed by Cre8us and other Creative Partnership organisations.

Most recently the company have undertaken projects (in different schools) that explore the development of creativity in maths, science, English, history and geography.

A creative or cross-curriculum project would see company artists, whose disciplines lie in dance, drama and physical performance, working closely with staff from a particular subject area or subject areas to look at developing collaborative and/or creative approaches to teaching in these subjects that challenge and extend current teaching practices.

The company’s approach is firmly rooted within the use of game, problem solving activities and physical work as a way of encouraging the development of creative and divergent thinking. Kinaesthetic teaching is not about learning how to move but learning to physically engage with the world around us and the problems and challenges we face.

For Highly Sprung pursuing kinaesthetic approaches to teaching can provide opportunities for students to become holistic and creative learners. Highly Sprung have a great commitment to working in strong collaboration with schools and teachers to ensure that work that is undertaken leaves an accessible and worthwhile legacy for all involved.
