Beauty and the Beast: Embracing the Shadow
A Workshop for Men or Women

With Joan Crawford and Eve Adams at Hawkwood College, Stroud, Gloucestershire

‘Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.’
Rainer Maria Rilke
The Fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast is a story of transformation. The Beast is horrific, ugly and frightening but lonely, sad and gentle in his deepest nature. Beauty is sweet and lovely but unaware of her depths. As the story unfolds both undergo an initiation: the Beast surrenders to his vulnerability and allows Beauty free choice; Beauty courageously leaves her father’s house and is moved to tenderness and love when the Beast despairs. Their union symbolises the blending of fierceness and gentleness, power and sensitivity.

In this workshop we will explore the themes of the fairy tale through:
  • Drawing
  • Mask making
  • Movement
  • Enactment
We will look at the significance of the themes of the fairy tale for men and women, both in their interpersonal relationships and in their inner worlds.
