Trestle Theatre Company

Trestle is a mask and physical theatre company based in St Albans, at Trestle Arts Base. Participatory and performance work for 11 to 25 year-olds is Trestle’s priority: Trestle’s mission is to deliver cross art form collaborative experiences that connect with young people, inspiring them to use their creativity to live better lives. Trestle has been making innovative and inspirational physical storytelling theatre since 1981. For 25 years, we worked mainly with full masks. Over the past 9 years, we have collaborated with UK and international artists to explore what happens when Trestle unmasks and uses voice, text, and dance. We welcome people of ages into Trestle Arts Base, where we show high quality professional productions on the first weekend of every month. There are weekly classes and community events, as well as spaces for performance research and development.
