Trickster Tales
A School Assembly Celebrating the Trickster Archetype
Drums, Songs & Stories Exploring The Trickster Archetype In Many Cultures
Of course this is the funniest program I do. It is after all, stories celebrating tricksters: Fox, Coyote, Rabbit, Anansi the Spider, Monkey, Crow, Turtle…all of these non-human characters have much to teach us about ourselves. Almost always the trickster gets tricked. Coyote always gets bested by roadrunner. But some tricksters like Bugs Bunny always seem to come out on top.
