Gecko
Join Gecko, the award-winning and internationally acclaimed theatre company, for a physical, playful and inspiring workshop providing an insight into their creative process and style.
Learning directly from one of Gecko’s devising performers, Lucia Chocarro this full day workshop welcomes you into a safe space to physically embody Gecko’s methodology, experience Gecko’s unique style of movement and physical theatre and deepen your understanding of their devising and creative process.
This workshop is open to those both new to Gecko's work and returning workshop attendees, developing skills, exploring rep and ensemble building.
Movement
Our workshops are a practical and engaging exploration of the processes and performance techniques we use when creating a show. They are the perfect opportunity to experience first-hand the tools used by Gecko to devise and create our visceral, poetic and provocative productions. Through preparation, ensemble building, serious play, simple beginnings and highly physical, dynamic tasks and activities, we focus on methods for creating movement for performance.
We delve into the use of breath and language to express, and open doors to accessing emotional spaces safely.
Participants will be nurtured and challenged in their artistic decision-making, and will move, have fun, express, and connect with themselves and others through creative discovery. We are excited to work with open hearted, curious, creative and collaborative individuals.
