Workshops

Led by Gecko’s highly experienced devising performers, our workshops are a practical and engaging exploration of the devising processes and performance techniques we use when creating a show.

Delivered at your venue (and available internationally), our workshops support the teaching of students in schools (Year 10 upwards), colleges and universities, giving participants the chance to experience Gecko’s unique style of movement and physical theatre, as well as an opportunity to gain an insight into the creative processes Gecko’s devising performers use when creating a show. 

Whether you’re looking to enhance your learning experience at degree or masters level, introduce your students to physical theatre, set an exam brief or stimulus, or support delivery of A/AS Level and International Baccalaureate courses for drama and theatre, our workshops are customised to meet your specific needs, with our workshop leaders working with you to ensure your students gain the most from the experience. We’re proud to be a recommended practitioner on various GCSE, A/AS Level and IB syllabuses.

Workshops can be led by one or two of our facilitators and can last up to two days depending on your requirements. Bespoke projects and longer workshops are also available on request.

Gecko is equipped and committed to making our workshops accessible and inclusive for disabled participants. Please make us aware of any accessibility requirements when completing the request form so that we can incorporate any actions you require of us into our workshop delivery.

“Students and staff were inspired by the practitioner’s energy, expertise and dedication.”

“We felt safe to explore in the atmosphere you had created. Everyone loved getting stuck in to the physicality of the work, and it has reminded many that they can challenge their bodies to move in different ways.”
