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.

Elizabeth Denneau’s quirky personality and fashion sense is the inspiration behind CandyStrike’s innovative and exceptional dresses, skirts, shirts, swimsuits, and accessories. Elizabeth spent over a decade designing unique clothing for women of all shapes and sizes. Being plus size herself, Elizabeth recognized the frustration that many women have felt trying to find something original and daring in department stores and started CandyStrike to fill that fashion gap in 2011. She will be expanding her sizes this winter (2013) to include "straight" sizes (2-10) and a size 4xl (26|28), because she felt passionately that the dividing line between sizing was damaging to women. Elizabeth uses techniques such as screen printing to create interesting textiles. She also creates interesting and elaborate one of a kind pieces using vintage garments. All of CandyStrike's garments are handmade in Tucson, AZ at the CandyStrike Atelier, where Elizabeth creates her statement pieces with her small team. While being featured in over 50 fashion shows and events statewide, Elizabeth worked along with other local professionals in establishing Tucson as a viable fashion industry and founded Tucson Fashion Week in 2010. In 2012 she handed over the reins of fashion week over to Paula Taylor to focus on her clothing line and art work.

Born in Greenville, South Carolina, Isaac Kirkman spent part of his youth in Sicily and part in the American hospital system, where he was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. He spent the following years lost in the streets before finding salvation at the Tucson Branch of The Writers Studio, which was founded by 2008 Pulitzer Winner, Philip Schultz in 1987. The training and discipline Kirkman received at The Writers Studio helped him develop what he has dubbed Holy Noir-- super-lyrical, socially conscious, Chillwave/Dreampop-style crime fiction. His prose and poetry have appeared or are forthcoming in Thuglit, Waxwing, Out of the Gutter, Shotgun Honey, Menacing Hedge, Clockwise Cat, Apeiron Review, Counterexample Poetics, and The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature. He's an affiliate of Zelmer Pulp. Kirkman currently lives in Arizona where he spends his days devoted to dancing, spirituality, and border-related human rights issues.
