Create an original show in one week on your choice of theme. All students can be involved in creating and performing the show. We lead the process and provide the lights, sound, curtains, props and costumes – for up to 600 actors. All grade levels.
In a week-long residency we help you create a show on any theme you want ( we help you design it). The show will reflect your school values and interests.
Learn how to use movement patterns to create stories from a picture prompt. We’ll show you how to storyboard it and help students tell the story in an animated way.
Acting out the science curriculum, makes it much easier to understand – especially for kinaesthetic learners and students new to the English language.
In our week-long residency program all students get to help create the show and act in it. In our 2-day residency Program, all students get to act in the show.
In our science and storytelling workshops, every student gets to act out the science and be part of a very fun learning experience – and it even works for students who are new to English or French.
With multiple funders backing the Residency Program, we’ll help make this financially viable for your school. A week-long residency will bring your school community together in an amazing way.
After this 2 day program your students will create stories that are cohesive and creative. The physical idea generation process we’ll show you gets rid of writer’s block.
The new Alberta Curriculum (and the old one) both brought to life. Learn how to make the inner world of science to life, by acting out things like magnetism and sound waves. Multiple Intelligence learning – YES!
Testimonials
“As the week unfolded I could see the benefits of providing the movement patterns and the time to orally rehearse before writing.”

“Our residency was a unifying and motivating experience that we used as a way to begin our year long inquiry about children’s rights.”
“If you ever have the opportunity to have Trickster take over your school for a week do not turn it down! This non-stop, fun filled residency will have students learning in a whole new way. Some students that are struggling with personal trials were able to bond with their classmates and forget their troubles for a little while they were learning and that was the most beautiful thing to see.”
“It was great that the whole school was involved including our Interactions students. There were many students who really connected with the performances and surprised us with their engagement, enthusiasm, and performance.”
