Description
You’re invited to the Highly Sprung rehearsal room. Transform your practice in 2025 with our series of 3 Pro Intensives.
Train the Highly Sprung way. Our professional intensives offer unique opportunities to be immersed in our practice, fusing dance, low-level aerial, theatre and storytelling. We have 3 Pro Intensives on offer in 2025, each taking a deep dive into a different Highly Sprung performance, production or process, sharing our signature approach and expertise.
Whilst our workshops can be experienced as one offs, we recommend attending as many of the series as you can in order to fully experience the Highly Sprung approach, and enhance your own creative practice. Expect movement, creativity, a place to play and to fly! With plenty of feet off the ground in a safe, inspiring space for all. Join us and leave inspired, with your practice reinvigorated and transformed.
Who is it for?
Highly Sprung’s Pro Intensives are 18+. They are designed for theatre, dance and multidisciplinary artists, alongside students and recent graduates. They are perfect for those eager to expand their horizons, deepen their craft and explore innovative physical performance techniques, as well as gaining insight into generating creative storytelling to develop their practice.
Workshop Content
January 2025: Accelerate
Kickstart your year with a workshop inspired by Highly Sprung’s new production Accelerate. Go behind the scenes of this dynamic, energy fuelled piece that explores the role of power in our lives. Learn rep from the performance and experience how we incorporated low level aerial and conveyor belt dance into our storytelling, to create an engaging, energising and authentic touring production.
February 2025: Body and Narrative
“Stories can be found in everything. Our duty as artists is to find them and share in every way we can.” Join Highly Sprung in a beautiful day exploring stories and their relation to the body. Learn how we find crumbs of narrative and feast on their movement potential, in a highly physical day. This workshop will fuse physical theatre, text and low level aerial, exploring our signature embodied approach. You’ll work with Highly Sprung’s scriptwriter to discover your own words and begin the journey to share your own stories.
March 2025: Anthology – Poetry and the Body
Join the creative team behind Highly Sprung’s project Anthology, which adapted a diverse poetry anthology into an impactful live performance. This session will combine movement, physicality and poetry with dynamic aerial work. Unpack our process and discover how complex themes and verse are transformed into captivating movement. Be inspired by artists words in order to create your own artistry and inspire others.
