Social media
Gecko is totally committed to a central idea: get as many people as possible to see the work we make. This is how we run our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
We have a complete open door policy. We believe in sharing anything that we think our audience will find interesting. We are creatives; we are fascinated by how work is made, how people operate and interact, and all the tiny details that go into making art. We try to share these things with our online audience as often as we can.
Amit believes that the most successful form of development as a company will come from genuine relationships. Relationships with artists, venues, and most importantly audiences. We do everything we can to respond to questions and requests from our online audience – we read every tweet and discuss posts as a company, often in the bar after the show or in rehearsal. We love to meet our audiences and social media allows us to do that all over the world.
We will share audience feedback from our shows. We are proud of the comments we receive. We can only share a selection of them, but we have even been known to retweet negative reviews of our work too. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and we want to be honest with our followers.
It’s not a competition. We have no competitors in the arts, we’re all in it together. It’s a hard enough time as it is, especially for new artists. Everyone is doing their best to make the most amazing work they can.
We will share our platform. When we see a project that we think looks interesting, or a new company who needs some support online, we always try to help. Social media is free, a post or share doesn’t cost us anything. If we can point our followers in the direction of a company or show that looks interesting, then of course we will!
