Background information
The Tricycle views the world through a variety of lenses, bringing unheard voices into the
mainstream. It presents high-quality and innovative work, which provokes debate and
emotionally engages. Located in Brent, the most diverse borough in London, the Tricycle is

creates theatre that tells stories about how human connections are made through
differences of culture, race or language.
We are committed to inspiring young people to express themselves creatively in a fun,
safe and professional environment. Our Creative Learning programme reaches a large
number of young people offering workshops, engagement with professional artists and
opportunities to perform on stage.
