Exposing the flaws of our relationship with energy, Accelerate from Highly Sprung is a daring physical spectacle. Combining dark humour, bold movement, aerial performance and conveyor belt dance.The performance is followed by practical workshops including a bespoke Highly Sprung workshop inspired by the production of Accelerate. These arts-based workshops will use arts approaches and physical theatre techniques to help students understand renewable energy technologies, energy conservation strategies, and policy advocacy.
