What we do
TRICKSTER THEATRE has been working in Alberta schools for 30 years. We have been providing our very popular Residency Program to schools for the 20 years. Over 430 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.
Up to $15,000 in funding assistance is available from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. Schools are eligible for either 50% or 75% funding, depending on location. See AFA funding. This Artist Residency program is available to schools throughout Alberta.

Helping Haiti - Kids go Global
Trickster is working to support schools in helping with the reconstruction of Haiti. Schools that choose "Helping Haiti- Kids are Global Citizens" as their theme, will recieve support to link to Charities doing work in Haiti. More info.
Act2Learn in the Classroom
In this program, teachers learn how to assist students in "acting out" the curriculum.
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.

“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.”
