We're taking a moment to look back on an incredible project...
Physical Fellowship National brought together nearly 100 young people across two nights of original performance at Jacksons Lane Theatre.

The project united students from 3 schools, alumni and students from Fourth Monkey Actor Training Company, and Sprung Youth Ambassadors from Coventry, to create and perform newly devised physical theatre.

Across the festival, participants took part in practical workshops led by Les Enfants Terribles and Fourth Monkey, gaining insights into professional devising processes, ensemble working, puppetry and physical theatre practice.

The project culminated in two nights of public performances, showcasing bold new work created collaboratively by the performers and schools involved.

We are so proud of what a powerful opportunity the project was for students and emerging artists to develop their skills, share practice, and experience working at scale in a professional performance environment.
