The site has taken months of hard work from many people, specials thanks go out to Gecko staff Eleri Evans and Alex Melville and in particular the internet team at Clarity led by Director Angie Cocks, Stephen Walker and Neil Campbell for their design and implementation.

Today Gecko welcomes Jimmy James Eaton and Cassandra Vagliviello to rehearsals for Damon Lockwood’s Gogo Fish.  We wait with baited breath to see the final product!

The workshop, inspired by Barking Gecko’s next show Gogo Fish, showcased elaborate prop and costume designs by designer Bryan Woltjen. Students were given the opportunity to make their very own sea creatures, with the support of tutors, Analisa Bell, Rhoda Lopez, Stevie Cruz-Martin and Caitlin Wills to create a fun performance using their creations.

Interpreters from the WA Deaf Society were also present on the day, making the entire experience valuable and enriching for all students involved.

Two performances of Run Kitty Run were showcased at the Walkington Theatre.  The cast included Summer Williams and Brendan Ewing, from the 2007 premier, as well as Jesse Phillips and Skye Sobejko. Barking Gecko also led several specialized drama workshops, featuring our participation coordinator Anna Paterson, and Run Kitty Run writer Tiffany Barton, as tutors.  Artistic Director Jeremy Rice also got involved in the participation activities, offering open audition sessions and giving young people valuable experience and insight into the professional acting world.
