Trickhouse Live is an integrative arts series that brings together people working with words, images, sounds, videos, and a variety of performances. The series serves as a venue for visiting artists to interact with local artists and for the borders between genres and mediums to be permeable. Trickhouse Live is a physical world extension of the online cross-genre arts journal, Trickhouse.org which is based in Tucson.

Performer Bios

Brody Wood is an antiassimilationist queer writer and teacher living in Maine. They write poems and essays about body dysphoria, living with an injury, trauma, falling in love with all your best friends and people being rude. They care about radical support networks, youth autonomy, healing from chronic pain, listening to country music, going to math class and party planning.

 

Em Bowen is a storyteller, a writer, a sister, a mess, a cat-owner, an editor, an incredibly stable human, never a girlfriend, occasionally a boyfriend and always changing (much as we all are, whether we realize it or not). They have been published online, in print and on stages across the West Coast, but feel they are just getting started. They are presently working on their MFA from Goddard College and are the current host of A Queer Open Mic and the creator and producer of the Tucson Gender Identity Project. Their work pieces through the human condition, queerness, honesty and the ways in which we learn to survive better.

Jimmy Carr recorded his first record in 1993 and has played on dozens of records since. As a composer, performer and recording artist he has worked in a wide range of artistic endeavors. With the University of Arizona he sang in two operas,” HMS Pinafore” and “La Perichole”(although never being enrolled as a student).

In 2000 he was awarded the “Tammie” for Best Drummer as well as Best Release with his band The Crawdaddy-o Brass Band for the record “Last Night on Earth”. His was subsequently written up in Modern Drummer Magazine. His “Solo Piano” recordings can be found in a handful of Tucson indie films. He has accompanied fire performers, aerial artists, puppets, live theater, silent movies and poetry. He had a stint as the house vibist at Club Deluxe in San Francisco for the Tuesday Night Poetry Slam. He played piano on and off for years at the Red Room in downtown Tucson. These days you will mostly find him playing around Tucson with his band “Jimmy Carr and The Awkward Moments”.
