Learning & Engagement
Unlock Wonder. Spark Curiosity. Create the Future.
At Barking Gecko Arts, we believe every child deserves to experience the transformative power of storytelling, creativity, and live performance. Our Learning and Engagement Programs invite young people to explore, imagine, and express themselves – in theatres, classrooms, and communities across Western Australia.
Through world-class productions, hands-on creative residencies, and immersive storytelling experiences, Barking Gecko helps teachers and students connect with the arts in meaningful, lasting ways.
We are committed to making our programs accessible to as many schools as possible. We recognise that financial, geographic, or other barriers can affect participation, and we encourage schools to contact us if this is the case. Our team will work with you to explore available support options and find a pathway that best suits your school and community.
