Exploring Creativity Through InterPlay
Iowa City, IA
Wednesday, June 13, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Are you tired of gazing at the clouds or that blank white space on your computer screen?
Come try InterPlay, an improvisational system that uses movement, voice, storytelling, song, and stillness. Practiced in 60 cities in the US and on five continents, it is an active, creative approach to unlocking the wisdom of the body. Expect a fun journey to the other side of your brain. What we’ll do - Using simple forms that any body can do, we will tell snippets of stories in the moment, practice moving/writing/moving, and as a group we’ll make up songs together on the spot. See if you notice what InterPlayers round the globe have claimed - that playing with a challenge can often take us further than working on it.
Cost: $10.00 or pay what you can
