A Word From Our Hostess

Stephanie Mufson – Chief Trickster, Curator, Director of Trickster

“After almost 2 years of invoking creative mischief & magic at our home, Mission Control, Trickster has got the travel bug (as Tricksters are known to do!). Trickster will continue to host events at MC quarterly & in the months in between we will bring our community & our artistic hi- jinx to other art & event venues throughout the bay area. MC Allies will continue to receive free entrance to all our events at Mission Control, and will be given a 75% discount on door prices at all other Trickster venues. This is a very exciting transition for all of us, as branching out will help build our community & our mission & bring more love & empowerment to our beloved artists, performers, and of course the Mission Control community! Mission Control, the venue and the vision, will always be at the core of who we are and what we do at Trickster- and we hope you’ll join us as we continue the adventure!”

AS ALWAYS, PLEASE DRESS TO ENHANCE THE ATMOSPHERE! Think: Game Show Hosts, Annoying Announcers, Mean Judges, Hopeless Contestants, Star-struck Couch Potatoes, Letter-Turners, Card Dealers, Clowns, Gypsies, and of course Faeries! We love ALL kinds of costumes!

Please No Jeans! (No, you will not be turned away for jeans, we’d just really prefer something with more schnazzz, if you’ve got it)

Trickster is a creator, a joker, a truth teller, a story teller, a transformer linked to the spiritual frequency changes humanity is experiencing at this time.

“We seem most accessible to the synchronistic gifts of the Trickster when we ourselves are at or near boundaries or are experiencing transition states, periods of major life transitions seem to be occasioned by an abundance of meaningful coincidence. Personal gtrirowth sees not only to facilitate synchronicity, but in turn to be facilitated by it. As an archetype, the Trickster, the boundary dweller, finds expression through human imagination and experience.”
