MimeLondon returns to Shoreditch Town Hall for 2026 with another series of workshops for artists.

Join internationally acclaimed physical theatre company Gecko for a special weekend residency to dive into their unique, visceral and poetic style and explore how they 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 they use when creating a show. They are the perfect opportunity to experience first-hand the tools used by the company to devise and create their productions.

These workshops are 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.

Through preparation, ensemble building, serious play, simple beginnings and highly physical, dynamic tasks and activities, the workshops will focus on methods for creating movement for performance. 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.

Gecko are excited to work with open hearted, curious, creative and collaborative individuals, and are committed to diversity, inclusion and equality within the arts, welcoming participants from all backgrounds.
