Dreaming and Dancing the World We Want to Live in.
The Social Justice Dance
Agnotti Cowie,
Ruth Garwood, and
Donna Mazzola
Cleveland Heights, OH
Friday, September 9, 7:00-8:30 pm
We will explore the many facets of our individual and collective journeys. Social change is a practice where we must come together in love, community and compassion using the simple “sneaky deep” InterPlay forms. From teachers to students, artists to politicians, from the streets to your home, we will explore the many facets of social justice and how our stories and full-selves can play with changing the world for the better.
This workshop will gently immerse you in the easy-body practices of InterPlay, a practice that teaches groups and individuals to tap into their artistic authority and positively affect other people. In InterPlay you will find new ways to access to your stories, movement and voice. This is an easy way to experience the powerful integration of mind, body, heart and spirit. Plus, you learn concrete tools that you can apply in your daily life and work.
