Jane Siarny
Joliet, IL
Saturday, MAY 21 9:15 am - 12 noon or 9:15 am - 3:00 pm
InterPlay is hard to describe. It is both playful and profound. It uses forms associated with the arts—movement, storytelling, and voice —but does it in ways that don’t require particular skill or even nerve. InterPlay is easy, goes step-by-step and anyone can join it. InterPlay is about bodyspirit connection. It celebrates and creates connection and community. Through this simple form of play, we learn more about ourselves and each other.
Cost: $10/$20 before May 15 $15/$25 after May 15

Leaders
Jane Siarny
Jane Siarny is dedicated to uplifting the human spirit through creativity, community building, and body-wise practices. Jane burst into the Chicago dance scene in 1985 by joining the Chicago Repertory Dance Ensemble and the Faculty at MoMing Dance & Arts Center where she also performed her original works. She also toured two children’s programs to Chicago-area schools & community centers and offered workshops & performances through the Sacred Dance Guild.
In 1991 at the National Sacred Dance Guild Festival, Jane discovered InterPlay and its co-creators, Phil Porter and Cynthia Winton-Henry. Jane was looking for something that would integrate her love of voice, music, improvisational movement and storytelling. With InterPlay she was able to integrate all these expressions and find a community based in affirmation, authenticity and the celebration of the human spirit. In 1992 she co-founded OUTABOUNDS Performance Company that was housed at the Chicago Cultural Center where Jane directed the Hedwig School of Dance and created the Dance Discovery Series.
Since co-founding InterPlay Chicago in 1994, Jane has been instrumental in leading the Life Practice Program to help people integrate the InterPlay philosophy and practices. She also serves as a Mentor in the InterPlay Leader Training Program and as Coordinator of the Life Practice Program.
