MimeLondon returns to Shoreditch Town Hall for 2025!

Suitable for students of theatre, drama, dance, movement, choreography, multidisciplinary arts or those who have graduated within the last three years interested in deepening their devising knowledge and experience.  

Join internationally acclaimed physical theatre company, Gecko, for a special weekend residency to explore its unique, visceral and poetic style and explore how its members devise and create movement and tell stories.  

Led by Gecko’s highly experienced devising performers, their residencies are a practical and engaging exploration of the processes and performance techniques used when creating a show. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience at first-hand, the tools used by the company to devise and create its 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. Gecko is committed to diversity, inclusion and equality within the arts and welcomes participants from all backgrounds.
