Asheville, NC
Saturday, May 3, 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
If you've heard about InterPlay and thought, "Improv?!? Too scary!!", then we've got the perfect place to prove those voices wrong! This is a FREE InterPlay workshop at Asheville Wordfest, especially designed for newcomers to InterPlay. And if you're an InterPlay junkie, it will be a great place to bring your friends.
We'll play with some simple basic forms of InterPlay like: Walk Stop Run, 30-second 'tellings', throwing pretend paint on the walls and more. You can't do it wrong in InterPlay and you might be surprised to find spontaneous stories, poetry, and movement flowing through you. Then we'll have time for those who want to perform in an affirming community.
Asheville Wordfest is all about writing, poetry and story-telling. This event takes place May 2 to May 4. You can find the lineup of their other great, free workshops plus some performances at http://www.ashevillewordfest.org/schedule.html
This workshop is for anyone interested in having more fun, ease, and creativity in everyday life, plus community and connection with their own body wisdom.
Everyone welcome!

Meg MacLeod has been leading InterPlay classes and workshops since 1998: in the USA, the Netherlands, Scotland, Germany and Switzerland – in on-going classes, school teachers trainings, camp counselors, university dance and drama students, and at birthdays community celebrations and conferences. She has directed and performed in numerous choreographed and InterPlay (improvisational) concerts.
Some of her main influencers are the Work of Byron Kate, her 12-step recovery and Arnold Mindell's ideas on quantum physics, the Tao and the Dreaming body.
Earlier years.
As school teacher, she regularly directed performances starring the children or brought her musician friends to her school to perform for the kids. In the mid- late-80s as an artist-in-residence, she developed and solo-performed five interactive concerts using music, stories and dance/movement to teach social studies and ecology in 24 US states, Germany and the UK.
As a community activist for Walkable Communities in the 90s she produced several highly successful conferences and two organizations until becoming physically and emotionally 'burned-out'. She credits recovery of her senses and health to InterPlay and other systems and loves to share the playfulness and trust in her intuition and in life she has recovered.
Current passions are music and song-writing, InterPlaying and becoming more fluent in the Dutch language.
