About Sprung Youth…
Sprung Youth was first established in 2003 as an opportunity to share the transformational potential of Highly Sprung’s physical theatre to the children and young people of Coventry and Warwickshire.
From its very beginnings, we attracted large numbers of children and young people who were searching for an alternative to traditional performing arts groups. Sprung Youth was never intended to directly prepare young people for the performing arts but instead to prepare them for life. We have always been youth-led, making work that gives young people a voice on the issues affecting them, now and in their futures. This approach has led to experiences that unique, profound, and sometimes life-changing. In recent times, we’ve launched Sponsor a Sprung, and are delighted to have provided bursaries for Sprung Youth, ensuring our sessions are inclusive and accessible for all those looking to join.
We’re proud that alumni have gone on to become doctors, business owners, paramedics, environmentalists working in the north pole, social workers and teachers to name just a few… This is alongside numerous performers with several touring actors, a UK representing drag performer and even a musical theatre star.
We’ve collaborated with artists and organisations from across the country, with the National Theatre, RSC, Holocaust Memorial Day, U:Dance, Complicite, Frantic Assembly, Motionhouse, Deaf Explorer and Liam Steel (DV8). Countless performance opportunities have seen Sprung Youth as important contributors to large scale events - leading the Lord Mayor of London’s Thames Carnival in 2013, taking part the 2012 Cultural Olympiad, the recent Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and of course leading a naughty pack of Corgis as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s Jubilee Procession!
Sprung Youth sits alongside our varied work in performance and education, from our free immersive performances for schools to our renowned outdoor arts performances at festivals across the UK and Europe, to leading award-winning educational programmes in schools, colleges and universities.
