Fool Expression

The Fool Expression is calling us as humans to learn to play with all of our masks, or parts of ourselves. Some known, some still to be met. Through this discovery, we connect to more aliveness, creativity, inner peace, and connection with others and with ourselves. It is a deeply playful and transformative process. Allowing us to dive deeper into ourselves through a safe connection with an audience. In this benevolent container, our human nature is called to open, express and bring transformation.

The Fool is the part of us that can journey from one aspect of ourselves to another. The Fool harvests the essence and the life force of each aspect, playing it fully, yet without being attached to any. The Fool plays out the inner dramas as they rise up inside. Believing it to be for its own sake, but through this workshop we will realise soon enough that The Fool also plays for the audience.

The Fool’s work brings the theatre back into the centre of the community. A place to play, and most importantly, to just be who we are. With all the quirkiness that goes with it. Remembering and experiencing the mystery that links us all together. One foot in the known, one foot in the unknown The Fool is free, and fully alive.

To be able to access our Inner Fool, to have the freedom of being fully alive at each moment and sharing that with an audience, we meet and learn to play with a range of masks: the mask of ourselves who holds us back; the ones who long to show up; the one who keeps us small; the one who wants to share the uniqueness and subtlety of our being; the mask who knows; the mask who doesn’t know…

This evening workshop  is followed by a Weekend Workshop in Frome on the 16th and 17th March 2023 All info on www.christieanimas.com

What does this workshop involve?

In this workshop, Christie will invite you to deepen your relationship with your body and learn the basics of The Fool’s Way. Together we will explore and learn how to play with the different masks or personalities within ourselves, as we step on stage and expand this relationship with an audience.

This work comes from the lineage of the Fool work of Franki Anderson. It is also based on the Voice Dialogue model of consciousness and the psychology of selves and is trauma informed.
