Building on the success of the inaugural Inspire Creative Learning Access Program (2020-2022), which enabled over 12,500 students to experience outstanding live theatre, we are delighted to continue and grow the INSPIRE program. INSPIRE provides opportunities for students and school communities who face social, geographic, or financial barriers to accessing high-quality Arts experiences. At the heart of the program is our commitment to enriching engagement with the Arts through live theatre performances.

Supported by our generous donors, INSPIRE schools enable students to experience Barking Gecko Arts through fully subsidised:

  • Tickets to School Season performances
  • Financial assistance for bus transportation
  • Curriculum-linked creative learning resources
  • In-school performance workshops linked to School Season performances, delivered by Barking Gecko Teaching Artists

"Getting to bring our students to a Barking Gecko performance, and watch their reactions, is a clear highlight of my teaching career. For so many of our students this was truly a once in a lifetime experience...a wonderful, authentic learning experience that I never would have been able to provide for the students...I'm so grateful for our school to have been included."
