About this listen

The trickster is traditionally a male character on the fringes of society who transgresses social norms, for many reasons including survival, the joy of chaos, or for selfish ends. But woven through this history are less visible female and non-binary trickster characters from Sheharzaad in 1,000 and 1 nights to early incarnations of the femme fatale. These characters have a very different set of social and political circumstances around them that change the rules of engagement. In this series, I interview artists, curators, clowns, dancers, writers, and others, in order to identify these 'other tricksters' today.


These are fairly loose 'interviews' / chats with relevant people who I believe use trickster techniques, some to provoke and challenge power relationships, others as a form of creative survival, and some simply for hope.

    The Female Trickster (In Gothenburg) Episode 2- Maja Ringstad
    Jul 18 2021

    For the second episode in this podcast series, I speak to professional clown Maja Ringstad. This was recorded in June 2021


    Some things that come up in our conversation that you might want further references for are:


    Maja works in a clown collective, called Clownkliniken - https://clownkliniken.se/


    The story of the polar bear and the dog playing together - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bcl0yrHPwk


    We talked about the Pueblo (or sacred) clowns of New Mexico and Arizona, but it didn't make the cut. But I would like to add some links here as it is a fantastic cross-over between tricksters and clowns. However, there is very little information about the clowns as it is part of a living religion.


    This is a list of this year's Native American feast days which mentions clowns from the Taos Pueblo - https://www.newmexico.org/events/native-american/feast-days/?fbclid=IwAR0eU6R8qngeVpq4WIvALnv0yIpiErdCcKYc9H1pCQH4juujRpmGUBBnBYM


    This is a Wikipedia page with a brief overview of the Pueblo/ sacred clowns - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pueblo_clown


    Comedian Stuart Lee has also made a documentary about the clowns:
