Reviews

“You have a wonderful team of professionals to work with. They’re so accommodating and flexible and a joy to be around. Hope to see you again next year!"

- Mrs. Gaetz, Teacher, St. Sylvester School, Calgary

“Tremendous! I’d recommend all schools to take up this great opportunity of learning and growing together. It brought the staff, the students, the parents and other volunteers together as a team. It is amazing how it all comes together so well in one week.”

What we do

TRICKSTER THEATRE has been working in Alberta schools for more than 25 years. We have been providing our very popular Residency Program to schools for the past 17 years. Over 350 schools have held Trickster Residencies. These have covered all grade levels.

5-Day Residency Program

In our 5-day Artist-in-the-School Residency Program we create, produce and stage an original 90-minute physical theatre production based on a theme or idea chosen by the school.

This theatre residency is suitable for up to 500 students (up to 24 classes) from grades K-12.

Trickster supplies lighting, sound, curtains, costumes and props, as well as a team of established theatre artists.

Funding assistance is available from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. This Artist Residency program is available to schools throughout Alberta.

Act2Learn in the Classroom

In this program, teachers learn how to assist students in "acting out" the curiculum.

Using lesson plans from the www.act2learn.org website, we demonstrate how high levels of student learning can be achieved by giving students a more kinesthetic understanding of the curriculum.
