WHAT IS INTERPLAY? An easy path to an embodied life through affirmation, community and play! Interplay is a philosophy and set of simple, body-centered activities that creates art from life in solo, partner, and group play. It invites us to make stuff up in the moment, to have fun, laugh with others, discover ourselves, and claim body wisdom as a path to having grace, ease, and fullness in our lives. InterPlay emphasizes the power of affirmation and re-teaches adults the ability to be spontaneous – that profound process of using one’s inner resources to interact with and enjoy the world. It is accessible to people of all ages and abilities and has been used with folks from 5 to 85

Diane Saliba Ault is a longtime community organizer, activist and artist who wears lots of hats! Her roles are many but her vision is one: wholeness for all.

She has served on the boards & staff of many church and community non-profit organizations, locally, regionally and nationally and has a passion for community-building across lines of race, class and culture.

She loves the simplicity and elegance of the InterPlay forms and shares them with other adventurous souls in Nashville and other parts of TN! She is certified as a regional leader in the InterPlay Leadership Program developed by Phil Porter and Cynthia Winton-Henry.
