Gigi Baradan is a life-long student and teacher of many healing modalities, including laughter, play, spiritual deepening and flu shots. She has been InterPlaying for over 20 years, and leading for over 10. She says it keeps her flexible in both body and spirit. Playfulness has been a potent antidote to her conservative upbringing and to her "serious" profession as a pharmacist. Perhaps her favorite InterPlay practice is simply to "take a deep breath and let it out with a sigh". It's Transformative every time!

Marty Roddy has been creating all his life: writing and telling stories, dancing, singing, creating connections with individuals and social movements and designing ritual for many types of communities and events. InterPlay allows him to combine all his passions in helping unlock the creative power within each body and within the GroupBody of communities large and small.

His formal education includes undergraduate work in Literature and Peace Studies at Clarke College, as well as graduate work in Theology and the Arts at United Seminary of the Twin Cities. He was introduced to InterPlay in 1996, is a Certified InterPlay Teacher offering many types of classes and workshops, and performs with SoulPlay Performance Ensemble.

As a teacher he shares an abundant heart and encouraging wisdom, knowing that all bodies are full of beauty and playful soul.
