Art, Leadership and Changing the World!

Art & Social Change: The Secrets of InterPlay (England)

Caroline Kisiel and Cynthia Winton-Henry

Kent, United Kingdom

May 12-15, 2011 • Thursday (7–9pm) & Friday, Saturday, Sunday (9:30am–4pm)

Are you interested in leadership and social change?
Are you a coach, activist, educator, or engaged in innovative work involving social change?
Are you as interested in people-making as much as art-making?
Is there a place for “soul” in your vocabulary?

Join us for the first Secrets of InterPlay workshop in the United Kingdom, with a special focus on Arts and Social Change.

Learn how to use the tools and ideas of InterPlay to unlock the wisdom of your body. Get your body, mind, heart and spirit all on the same page. Learn more about yourself through connection and community. Create more ease and fun in your life. InterPlay is a philosophy and practice that builds artistic skill, leadership ability and develops strong community. InterPlay is also a worldwide community of artist-activists who believe in their ability to change the world through freedom of expression. InterPlay’s multi-disciplinary creative methods are used in daily life, relationships, performance, therapy, ritual, business and education. Participants will learn tools that make movement, voice, storytelling, theater, stillness, music, and contact easy, accessible and powerful for any group.

This multiple-day event will give you direct experience with the InterPlay system. It is also the first element of the Life Practice Program, as well as the InterPlay Teacher Training Program. Cynthia Winton-Henry, co-founder of InterPlay, will be the primary leader of the Secrets of InterPlay, assisted by InterPlay leader Caroline Kisiel, who will help facilitate.
