The UK’s only physical performance festival exclusively for young people.
Highly Sprung’s Physical Fellowship was established over ten years ago to give young people the opportunity to explore their understanding and experience of physical theatre.
Today, it remains a unique and exciting opportunity for 11 to 19-year-olds to immerse themselves in physical theatre practice, working with renowned professional artists from Highly Sprung to make and present original work.
Each evening features a programme of original physical performance work from local school and youth groups, followed by a headline show from Sprung Advance Plus.
Physical Fellowship 2023- FREEDOM
What does it mean to be truly free?
To have the liberty to make choices guided by your ambitions and dreams with no barriers or restrictions.
This year’s festival is a tribute to the journeys to freedom defined by our pasts, presents and futures. Celebrating where freedom exists and throwing light where it is still absent.
Everyone deserves the right to be free but is all freedom equal?
In a response to explorations of human rights, identity and free speech this year’s festival exposes the realities experienced in pursuing freedom.
