The Trockadero Gloxinia Ballet Company
Organization
"In 1972, three members (Larry Ree, Richard Goldberger, and Lohr Wilson) of Charles Ludlam's Ridiculous Theatrical Compnay formed their own dance troupe, the Trockadero Gloxinia Ballet Company. [The group] combin[ed]... camp, drag, exaggeration, and Ludlam's respect for theatrical history... Performing in a succession of Greenwich Village lofts and small theaters the Gloxinia attracted a growing audience base, enough to expand the company to a dozen dancers... Four members of Ree's troupe decided to form their own company in 1974. Thus was born Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo..."
