HOME are working with the JMK Trust to offer early career directors free access to workshop and development opportunities as well as a chance to meet regularly with a group of peers to network and share ideas.
Join Gecko Theatre Company for a workshop on 5 October, 10- 1pm.
In this workshop, we will look at tools to aid artists, theatre makers and practitioners in their devising journeys. You will have an opportunity 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. We will explore how to devise from a stimulus and how to layer and develop movement and ideas. You will delve into the use of breath and language to express, and open doors to accessing emotion through physicality.
