WookieFoot is an amorphous entity in constant flux: a band, an artist commune, an interactive psychedelic trip circus, a fire troop, a group of travelers dedicated to generating and maintaining a highly conscious kind vibe. Festivals provide us with the best opportunity to do what we do best: play the crowd. We come early to create a playground for all festival goers to explore and enjoy. Over the years we have organized our Merry Prankster style antics into an interactive spiritual scavenger hunt called "Make Believe."
Make Believe uses Reiki, sound vibration therapy, guided meditation, and improvisational theater to transform the festival grounds into an interactive fantasy playground. Players encounter characters who function as guides(The Doctor, The Mystic Tuner, The Monk)who assist you in the pursuit of the Zen concept of Nothing, or No-Thing (see comic book). Every player experiences the game differently as the characters improvise around Make Believer's reactions to this philosophical and spiritual scavenger hunt. Make Believe impacts a festival with a playful degree of intrigue and mystery; rumors of the game spread from campfire to campfire as festival goers realize that there is something truly unique afoot.
In addition to the game, we amuse ourselves and others with a range of activities centered around our 20' x 30' circus tent / waiting room. The tent is a giant, cushy Kasbah that provides sun and rain relief. From this tent, we focalize crowd activities and entertainment: drum circles, body painting, children's games, hug nets, fire rituals, and more or less, depending on festival needs. The Make Believe experience culminates with the WookieFoot stage performance. The final piece of the mystery reveals itself as all the characters take the stage with WookieFoot for a high energy performance complete with black light show, costumes, and fire ritual.
The effect of Make Believe is undeniable and powerful! This spirit surrounding this sacred play humbles us as we continue to witness its profound joy and healing. It is out of love and respect that we are committed to opening this portal at events with the highest intentions.
