Bentley School is excited to welcome Trickster Theatre to our School from December 2 - 6. Trickster Theatre is an artist-in-residency company based in Calgary, Alberta. They tour across Alberta, creating approx. 50+ original shows a year in all kinds of communities based on a theme chosen by the school and developed with the assistance of Trickster. These residencies take place in schools, transforming the gym into a theatre. A Trickster Theatre Residency involves the theatre team coming into our school for a week and facilitating staff and students in creating a unique and highly visual theatre. This week of workshops and rehearsals will culminate in a fun and high-energy production. They have been working with schools for over four decades! In that time, they have found that having parent involvement during a residency project greatly enhances the final production. There are many ways parents can be involved in a residency – from preparing costumes and making props, to helping the Trickster Team move equipment in and out of the school.
From December 2 - 6, Trickster will take over Bentley School, and we need your help! To volunteer, go on to SignUpGenius via this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0F4DAEA923AAFB6-50131404-bentley#/ look at the volunteer needs and sign up for what you can do – it’s that easy!
We also need donations of large pieces of cardboard for props if anyone has any extra large boxes laying around.
Save the date for the Public Performance which will take the place of the Christmas Concert on Friday, December 6 at 6:30 p.m. - "Walking in a Genre Wonderland!"
