Come play with darkness, imbalance, and each other.
InterPlay into Winter
Special all-genders-welcome class
Edward Joy and
Amos Alan Lans
Oakland, CA
Thursday, December 18th, 7pm-8:25pm PST
Winter Solstice is almost here. Join us to celebrate the dark of the year! An easy, fun way to step away from fluorescent lighting and into a ring of firelight or the dark of a forest. We'll make shapes of the season, play with moving & shaping in pairs, and dance on behalf of the darkness.
The ongoing Oakland Men's Class invites people of all genders to join our group in-person to celebrate the Winter Solstice! Please reach out to Amos using the link below if you have any questions. We'll open the Studio by 6:50 p.m. to visit until the session starts at 7:00 p.m.
COVID and Health Protocol: If you’ve been sick, or been around someone who’s been sick in the last five days, please stay home. Masks are welcome, but not required. We have high ceilings and run an air purifier.

Leaders
Amos Alan Lans
Amos Alan Lans likes to tell folks, “I became a dancer in my 50’s, thanks to InterPlay!” Amos is one of the three co-leaders of the Thursday evening men’s drop-in class. He loves introducing InterPlay to groups of men, especially gay men, especially older gay men who are learning new ways of enjoying being in their ageing bodies as well as playful ways of connecting with other guys. Letting stories emerge from movement is one of Amos’ favorite InterPlay activities. For 20+ years, Amos set up and taught in public school gardening programs. He now teaches the joys of composting, gardening, and healthy eating to at-risk urban youth in North Oakland’s Dover Street Edible Park, near his home on 61st Street.
