Tricklock Company
is an international theatre organization founded in 1993
whose mission is to create, tour, and produce theatrical
performances as a permanent resident company committed to
artistic risk, physicality, absurdism,
and poetic work.
Tricklock
Company
asserts that theatre is a provocative and vital tool for
examining the human experience and presents their findings
through theatrical work. They believe that theatrical
performance is a movement intrinsic to the evolution of our
culture. The Vision & Direction of Tricklock Company are
exemplified through its ongoing programs:
The Resident
Company:
creating, performing locally, and touring dynamic theatre
productions nationally and internationally to promote the
value of ongoing group work, the creation of new forms, and
artistic exchange.
The Revolutions
International Theatre Festival and the Tricklock Performance
Season:
Producing new and inspiring theatre performances and
workshops created locally and around the globe in order to
foster cultural and artistic exchange.
Tricklock
Education Programs:
Through The Manoa Project: Teen
Playwriting and Summer Ensemble Apprenticeship Program, the
Tricklock-UNM Residency, and workshops with the Resident
Company, young children, troubled youth, and budding
theatre artists train in physical
and vocal techniques, creative experimentation, and new play
and performance creation and touring. Tricklock Company
fosters an environment for the creation of young ensembles
dedicated to ongoing live performance work.
Tricklock Company’s 2008-09 Season
includes…
September-October:
The Caretaker
by Harold Pinter
Directed by Joe Feldman
Featuring Joe Peracchio, Chad
Brummett, & William Sterchi
The Caretaker deals with the distance between reality
and fantasy, family relationships, and the struggle for
power. It dives into the
subjects of mental illness and the plight of the indigent.
Pinter uses elements of both comedy and tragedy to create a
play that elicits complex reactions in the audience. The
complexity of the play, Pinter's masterful use of dialogue,
and the depth and perception shown in Pinter's themes all
contribute to The Caretaker's consideration as a
modern masterpiece.
