Our time at the National Theatre flew by quicker than we could say ESSA ESSA, but the beautiful memories from that crazy month will live on with us forever. Three months on, we wanted to reflect on our time at the National Theatre and the wrap-around engagement work that took place alongside our run of Kin.

We are thrilled to announce we are running two professional development intensives this spring led by Gecko’s very own devising performers.

A chance to refuel, replenish and reinspire your creative practice with a particular focus on devising and making movement.

Internationally acclaimed physical theatre company Gecko are thrilled to be collaborating with East 15 Acting School and their CT 3rd year students. This brand-new devised production delves into the characteristics of archetypal childhood trauma and what happens to these wounds as adults. Directed by long-standing Gecko performer Chris Evans and told with Gecko’s unique visceral and poetic style, ‘The Rescue’ is a story about heroes, monsters and surviving growing up.

We are thrilled to announce our winter professional development intensive of 2023 led by Gecko performer, Dan Watson and Gecko’s Assistant Director, Andres Velasquez.
