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.
