Drawing from contemporary clown, physical theatre, Indigenous knowledges, and Land-based practices we will uncover our tricksters to play and generate material for performance. As we stand at the very serious edge of the end of the world I truly believe Trickster is a key to how we can move and play forward in right relation with each other. Trickster is the one who teaches us about subversion and challenging power. Trickster tells us to celebrate the other, the strange, and the queer. Trickster offers a new-ancient knowledge system that is ancestral and future oriented. In this workshop we will move our bodies and play, and we will explore ancestral and generational narratives that can stir up emotional responses, everyone is welcome to participate in whatever way feels best for them. Please come ready to experiment and play! There will be some movement and writing, all abilities are welcome. Please be aware that smudging will take place prior to this workshop. All are welcome to participate but none are required. --- who will save the night sky?
