We are delighted to share this poem from Sprung Advance, reflecting on the sunrise, seeking light and hope in the darkness.

Stories are unifiers. We hear other’s stories and understand them through connecting them to our own lives - they are the place in which empathy is born. We believe stories are important and as a company, they are at the core of the work we do. 

As part of our series of bedtime stories, we asked our team members what books and stories inspire them.

Following our successful return to teaching in schools, Mark reflects on how we have adapted our practice to continuing delivering work in a creative, safe way.

This week, we are shining a light on the brilliant team of freelancers and creatives who make our work at Highly Sprung possible.

We, at Highly Sprung, believe it is vital that we enable our young people to be vocal and speak about the issues that concern them. For them, as our younger members of society, to be the catalyst for change.

We are delighted to share some fun (and slightly gruesome) stories, created for the 'All the Street's a Stage' by our Artistic Director Mark Worth. Each story is inspired by Shakespearean classics, combining different tales to create something new, with lots of twists!

On the last Saturday of March Coventry City Centre hosted a live screening of HOME, Mark reflects on our experience of creating Home, a vertical dance performance about the incredible city we live in, Coventry.

We have never been more together and yet so alone. I have no doubt that at the time of writing this statement there are many of you who might share this same sentiment.

I have a vested interest in physical contact, it’s how I create work and how I have made my living. But contact is far more important than just ‘making performance work’.

My first show for Highly Sprung was 10 years ago. It was called “Chalk Door”, and performed at the Belgrade Theatre as was part of the first ever Physical Fellowship.
