Trestle Theatre

[1] Trestle Theatre Company was founded in 1981 by Sally Cook, Alan Riley and Toby Wilsher,[2] three graduates from the BA Performance Arts course of Middlesex Polytechnic, and the support of John Wright, their course leader.

[3] Joined later by Joff Chafer, the company continued to tour nationally, and eventually internationally, and develop its distinctive story telling style: combining mask, physical theatre and puppetry.

Since the new directorship, Trestle have continued to evolve their physical storytelling techniques past mask work in an effort to expand their repertoire and establish themselves within their new venue.

[43] Additionally, Trestle's community Inclusive groups run weekly Dance Now, Sing out, Act Up sessions that encourage engagement for participants with all abilities.

[44] All groups are funded by Neighbourly Charitable Trust, Herts Community Foundation and Councillor Dreda Gordon Locality Grant.
