Saturday, September 24 9:30 am-noon or 9:30-3:00 pm
This group offers a soulful place to discover practices that develop ease in movement, voice, stillness, contact and storytelling. InterPlay is a practice and philosophy rooted in the power of play. It's an easy to learn, creative process that uses movement, storytelling, and voice —but does it in ways that don’t require particular skill or even nerve. It balances experiences of reflection and activity. Integrating body, mind, heart and spirit, InterPlay celebrates and creates connection and community. Through this simple form of play, we learn more about ourselves and each other. It is incremental, affirming, and something that anybody can do! It opens paths of connection between people-- between cultures and faiths.
Cost: $20 for morning/$30 for whole day

Leaders
Jane Siarny
Jane Siarny is dedicated to uplifting the human spirit through creativity, community building, and body-wise practices. At the 1991 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 is 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 the Dance Discovery Series. The company performed and taught workshops throughout the U.S.
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 into their lives. She also serves as a Mentor in the InterPlay Leader Training Program and as Coordinator of the Life Practice Program. She is delighted to be collaborating with so many gifted InterPlay Leaders to Change the World One Play at a Time.
