A Level Students Take Part in Gecko Workshop 

Last Tuesday, A Level Drama students had the absolute pleasure of taking part in a workshop with Gecko’s Associate Director Helen Baggett. Helen spent three hours with students, taking them through Gecko’s various devising techniques, and encouraging them to create bold and exciting work within an ensemble.

Year 12’s William shared his experience of the workshop.

“I found the workshop incredibly useful and very enjoyable. It gave me an excellent insight into the world of professional theatre and taught me a wide array of devising techniques.

Applying some of these techniques to my A level devised practical has already greatly heightened the quality of the work, and as time goes on, I’m bound to use even more of what I learned in the workshop.

Beyond its educational value, it was also extremely fun. I found that doing such intensive activities with my peers brought us all closer together and allowed us to get to know one another better.

Overall, it was a brilliant and has definitely improved my A level Drama experience.”
