About
Join 'What If”, a brand-new project inviting kids and teens to help shape the future of Barking Gecko Arts. Come along to a creative workshop, get stuck into hands-on making with a professional artist, and tell us what a day at the Festival is really like for you. There are no right or wrong answers — just your honest thoughts on creativity, art, and what events for young people should feel like. Your ideas will help launch our new Children and Young People Advisory Council, so what you say here could shape festivals, theatre productions and workshops for years to come. All you need to bring is yourself.

Calling all 8–12-year-olds! Join world-renowned children’s book author James Foley for a playful, hands-on workshop at the State Library of WA. Through games, movement, and making, you'll explore what creativity means to you, share what your day at the festival has been like, and help imagine what a Children's Advisory Council could look and feel like. No sitting still filling in surveys just fun, active ways to have your say and be heard.
