We need your help to transform a derelict warehouse into the Gecko Creation Space!
We have just launched a month-long Crowdfund campaign with a target of £25,000 to help transform an unloved warehouse into a nationally significant, unique resource for the creation of world-class performance and the delivery of cutting-edge training and participation.
Double Your Donation!
Thanks to the Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF), we have an amazing opportunity to double every donation given during our Crowdfunding campaign, meaning that for every £1 you give, we receive £2. Every donation is hugely important and if we reach our target of £25,000, we’ll receive an incredible £50,000 towards the completion of the Creation Space.
There’s a long way to go in developing the space we’ve dreamed about for so long, but plans are well underway!
Thanks to our lead partner Ipswich Borough Council the site has been cleared and building works are due to start in autumn 2021. We’ve already raised £747,000 of our £1.3m target to fit out the building, but we need your help to turn our dream into a reality.
To say thank you, every donation over £25 will receive exclusive access to an online film of our ensemble performing in the empty Creation Space. The movement was created as part of the development of our new show, which explores themes of home, family, migration and racism. It was shot in May 2021 on a rainy Saturday, with camera crew and performers dodging leaks in the roof and holes in the floor - another job on the long ‘to do’ list!
When the building opens in summer 2022, the Gecko Creation Space will usher in a new era for the company, significantly changing the company’s creative process and participation delivery.
Please donate what you can and join us on this journey.
Thank you for your support, we can’t wait to welcome you to the Gecko Creation Space.
