What is Tricklock?
Founded in 1993, Tricklock Company operates as a specialized ensemble dedicated to the rigorous investigation of the human condition through original, devised theatrical works. Based in the Tricklock Performance Laboratory, or T-Lab, the organization functions as both a creative studio and an administrative hub. Their methodology integrates diverse artistic disciplines, including physical story creation, object puppetry, and poetic language, to produce raw and provocative narratives. Beyond local performance, Tricklock distinguishes itself through a robust commitment to international artistic exchange and community-based development, exemplified by its Excavations series. The ensemble maintains a unique market position by managing all aspects of its production lifecycle, from initial concept to global distribution, ensuring that their artistic vision remains uncompromised and deeply connected to the evolution of contemporary culture.

What's next for Tricklock?
Looking ahead, the current Series A/B growth stage funding provides Tricklock with the necessary resources to transition from a localized ensemble to a more expansive international entity. The strategic focus will likely center on scaling the Revolutions International Theatre Festival to attract broader global audiences and increasing the frequency of international touring engagements. Furthermore, the capital will support the continued professionalization of the T-Lab infrastructure, allowing for more sophisticated production values and enhanced mentorship programs. By prioritizing these growth vectors, Tricklock aims to deepen its impact on the global theatre community while maintaining the authentic, ensemble-driven ethos that has defined its three-decade history. The organization is poised to leverage this financial stability to explore new frontiers in physical storytelling and cross-cultural artistic collaboration.
