Word path is a structured expressive practice to help Fools walk straight off the cliff of their own liberation, learning to show up without the need to present themselves as smart enough, cool enough, or good enough.
Fooling for Disobedience is a 5-day retreat in New York in October 2024, run by Laura and Alex (at Unspeakable Arts). Read more at laurageiger.com/foolingretreat
This video is homework from a graduate of the Deep Puppetry program. The assignment is exploring abjection and disability through object animation. Check out your chance to earn a certificate in an online applied puppetry program, returning this Feb-March. Early bird deadline approaches! DeepPupppetry.com Deep Puppetry is an applied puppetry approach focused on the personal process of making and ensouling objects in order to explore and divest from our learned orientation toward oppression, exploitation, and hierarchy and to practice creating the conditions for growth, liberation, and agency.
What is the Fool? And does it matter? An excerpt from a recent Fooling workshop in which I give a little sermon lol. I use Fooling, an improvisational art form of creating performances in the empty space, as liberatory practice and method of decreasing reliance on self-editing, increasing capacity for ambiguity and non-urgency, and engaging with conspicuous unknowing as act of generosity, courage, and activism. LauraGeiger.com/fooling Fooling workshops are coming up in Jan, Feb, March, and April!

I had a dream in which a trusted teacher said, “The only thing an adult needs to remember how to pretend is practice.” 💚🌲 How do you play in the woods?
