STUDENTS at a Southend drama school took to the High Street for a lofty street production.

StiltPro is a stilt-walking theatre group of graduates or students, including some from the East 15 Acting School.

They practised their breathtaking routine, mingling among the shoppers in the busy High Street.

The group is director by Piotr Pawarski who trains stilt-walking actors.

Other members of the team are Sophie Turner, Sophie Louise Reid, Loana Aida and Eliot Windsor.

They said: "Our dream is to produce professional theatre performances incorporating unusual stage techniques like stilts and perform for the audience who needs theatre the most.

"By that we mean taking our skills to places that really need the benefits of stagecraft: education, smiles and hope."
