Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
For as long as civilization has tried to impose order on its subjects, Tricksters have been thumbing their nose at the rules. These sly characters always find a way to take authority figures down a peg and turn social norms on their head. At the end of the day, they give us more than just a good laugh; they also nudge us towards a re-evaluation of everything we hold true.

We'll take a look at pictures and read basic summaries of the best (and worst) Tricksters throughout world mythology including those from Native North America, Polynesia, the Norse region, Africa, and more!

A basic understanding of mythology would be helpful.  

Meaningful participation is encouraged, though no one will be put on the spot to answer or contribute.
