What is fOOling?
Traditionally, the Fool is representative of the zero point; a place of potential, trust and leap of faith. One might say the Fool walks a tightrope that only appears with each step.
Fooling is a playful exploration of my selveS to observe & undo the assumptions, judgements, conditionings, inhibitions, self impositions that can restrict me from being alive to what is really HERE. I look at things as if for the first time and experience it through wonder-fool play. As a fOOlish edge worker I risk everything to open to the mystery of my own personal original story and to reclaim MY miracle!
Witnessing a fooling is a fascinating and engaging experience. The fool exposes their inner self(S) on stage in conversation with them-self and the audience. The fool fully(fooly) engages with their own authenticity and creatively expresses the present moments through body and voice. This often results into funny, exciting and poignant moments.
NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.
