Highly Sprung

The UK’s leading physical theatre company making work for and with children and young people.

We create outdoor and indoor performances that tell stories through movement, gesture and dance. Stories inspired by humanity, science, and the complex world around us.

We also train artists in physical theatre and run projects in primary and secondary schools here and across the world.

Our work is playful, inventive, provocative and poignant. We take theatre beyond words, creating award-winning outdoor and indoor performances that tell stories of our histories and our futures primarily through movement, gesture and dance. Stories inspired by humanity, science and the complex world around us. Stories inspired by young people.

We put young people at the heart of our work in ways no other company does. We know that every young person, regardless of their starting point, has great potential and is able to use their body as a creative tool. Through a genuinely open creative process, using our own physical theatre techniques, we empower every young person to explore how their body can be used to develop their own unique performing style.
