Background
InterPLAY!
is
a
philosophy
and
set
of
simple,
body-centered
activities
using
movement,
story,
song,
stillness
and
dance.
It
invites
us
to
make
stuff
up
in
the
moment,
have
fun,
laugh
with
others,
discover
ourselves.
It
was
created
by
Phil
Porter
and
Cynthia
Winton-Henry
over
a
20-year
partnership
as
artists,
educators,
performers
and
ordained
ministers.
As
“body
intellectuals”
they
have
written
several
books,
lecture
nationally
&
internationally,
direct
the
“Wing
It!”
Ensemble
in
Oakland,
CA
and
host
several
retreats,
playshops
and
“Untensives”.
InterPlay
has
tried
and
true,
simple
methods
that
allow
people
to
GENTLY
get
more
of
this
good
stuff
happening
in
their
lives.
It
is
not
heavy,
or
dogmatic
in
it's
approach,
but
simple,
and
playful,
and
literally
ANY
_BODY_
can
do
it!
It
is
based
on
simply
noticing
and
responding
to
the
wisdom
of
our
bodyselves
in
the
company
of
other
bodyselves
in
an
affirming,
supportive
environment.
Facilitators
bring
only
the
most
minimal
direction
to
the
process
and
the
gathered
group
brings
the
content.
Though
there
is
structure
and
form
to
it,
each
and
every
gathering
is
unique
and
sometimes
quite
beautiful
and
profound. |
