What’s On Now

Following the outbreak of the Corona-virus, Highly Sprung was forced to cancel this year’s Physical Fellowship, but rather than cancel the event entirely we’ve decided to take it online. Unlocked is a week-long celebration of the creativity of young people during lock down, a challenge for you to unlock your imagination, free your mind and unleash your talent.

The event will be taking place across all social media platforms between Monday 29th June – Thursday 2nd July and any young person age 11-24 can get involved and create their own response to the theme ‘Unlocked’.

What People Say

“

“No-one who watched the performance would have failed to be moved by the poignant storytelling achieved with excellent craft and skill by the performers. The wonderful smiling faces of the children and the tears of the adults clearly showed how much the narrative had touched us all.”

Up, Up and Away

“My nine-year-old daughter was completely taken in by your performance. I could tell her about what’s going on with the planet again and again and it would just go over her head. What you’ve just done there, will stay with her forever.”

Urban Astronaut

“Training with Highly Sprung enhanced my teaching practice and equipped me with a new skill set. I learnt to approach workshops as a narrative, and this has provided me with a structure to my teaching that I can be creative and play with.”
