The InterPlay Workshop: Creativity Ceilidh & Convergence!
An International Gathering of Cultural Creatives
Mairi Campbell,
Phil Porter, and
Cynthia Winton-Henry
Leith, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Saturday August 17, 10am-9pm and Sunday August 18, 10am-4pm
What do you call Moving, Singing, Music Making, and Telling Tales with friends from around the world? A ceilidh (pronounced cay-lee) is Gaelic for gathering. It usually means there will be music and dance.
In this workshop InterPlay founders, Cynthia Winton-Henry and Phil Porter with Mairi Campbell from Scotland invite people from the US, Australia, Europe, and beyond (!) to a once in a lifetime Edinburgh International InterPlay Convergence. Using InterPlay practices we will meet new friends and learn how creativity not only unlocks the wisdom of the body, but also builds bonds between people.
We always start with InterPlay's introductory forms to build the new community. Short movement, voice, and story-tellng practices give us unique, fun ways to learn about similarities and differences. Please join us as we share how InterPlay is offering glimmers and bursts of hope to predisposed and unlikely creative folk around the world!
If you can only come for a taste, come see a pop-up performance by experienced InterPlayers Saturday night! Open to friends!
Schedule
Saturday 10:00-4
InterPlay POP UP performance 7-9 (open to the public)
Sunday 10:00-4

Leaders
Mairi Campbell
I'm a musician, performer and facilitator based in Scotland. I make concerts and music theatre shows - the latest is called 'Mairi Campbell - Pulse'. I first came across InterPlay on a recommendation and realised it was doing exactly what I wanted to be doing! I wanted to see how it would translate into Scottish culture so organised many InterPlay events in Scotland mainly and invited leaders from the US and Europe. I became a certified leader in 2016.
I have found interplay very helpful both professionally and personally.
Phil Porter
Phil is one of the founders of InterPlay. He is a teacher, performer, writer, and organizer. With Cynthia Winton-Henry he is the co-founder of WING IT! Performance Ensemble, and has written several books, some in collaboration with Cynthia, including Having It All: Body, Mind, Heart & Spirit Together Again at Last and The Slightly Mad Rantings of a Body Intellectual Part One. Phil is particularly interested in the use of InterPlay in organizational life, and believes that InterPlay can be a powerful tool to create communities of diversity and peace.
