Men Moving Towards Community: An Introduction to InterPlay & Chance to Network around Community Living Opportunities for Men.
Saturday March 22nd, 1:45-4:30, at the InterPlayce Studio, 2273 Telegraph Avenue, corner of 23rd St. & Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, CA 94612 (just 4 blocks from 19th St. BART station).
Engage your body, mind & spirit as we play together in an affirming, safe community of men (and maybe one or two women)!
From 2:00-3:30, Amos Alan Lans will lead the group in InterPlay’s fun and easy movements, toning, and sharing forms. We’ll move both individually and in contact with others, and create a group soundscape through simple tone-making. Each sequence is incrementally taught. No dance or theater experience is necessary. Men of all mobility levels are welcome!
From 3:30 to 4:30, men will have the chance to share about different ways we’re building community in our lives. Share about your group living experiences & opportunities such as cohousing, cooperative households & neighborhood support & social networks.
Cost: Sliding scale, $5-$20

Leaders
Amos Alan Lans
Amos Alan Lans likes to tell folks, “I became a dancer in my 50’s, thanks to InterPlay!” Amos is one of the three co-leaders of the Thursday evening men’s drop-in class. He loves introducing InterPlay to groups of men, especially gay men, especially older gay men who are learning new ways of enjoying being in their ageing bodies as well as playful ways of connecting with other guys. Letting stories emerge from movement is one of Amos’ favorite InterPlay activities. For 20+ years, Amos set up and taught in public school gardening programs. He now teaches the joys of composting, gardening, and healthy eating to at-risk urban youth in North Oakland’s Dover Street Edible Park, near his home on 61st Street.
