The

Trickster

Rules are suggestions

You laugh with your whole body. The world is your improv stage, and we are the audience that keeps laughing.

How you’ll recognise a Trickster.

Three quiet signals. None of them about breed. All of them about the way they hold a room.

i.

Has a sense of humour

A specific one. And they are testing their material on you. And they know when it lands.

ii.

Treats rules as suggestions

Not defiantly. Curiously. As if to say: are you sure? Have you considered the alternative?

iii.

Makes a small theatre of daily life

Every morning is an opening night. Every meal is a climax. You are the audience and also the critic.
