Change your life, change your world.
Terry McCarthy and Laurece West

Durham, NC

Sept 14-17, 2017: Thursday 7:00 - 9:00 pm; Friday 9:30 am – 8:00 pm; Saturday 9:30 am – 5:00 pm; Sunday 9:30 am – 1:00 pm

InterPlay is a system of improv that enhances creativity and allows people (especially adults) to play. InterPlay unlocks the wisdom of the body. Distinctly different from comedy or acting improv, InterPlay is about self-expression and noticing what we experience. Because we are freeing our stories, songs, dances, movement and stillness, and playing with a community, we get to explore our lives and creativity together.

Participants learn the forms, concepts and tools that are the "Secrets of InterPlay." The forms are the "play" part. We play all together - soloing at the same time and creating as a group. Each of the spoken word, storytelling, movement, dance and song forms are taught incrementally, step by step. We have a clear beginning and understanding of the middle, where each adds their individual contribution, and together we find an ending.

The concepts and tools help us look for the good, find our inner authority, understand our body data/knowledge/wisdom, exform (release, opposite of inform) our stress and overwhelm, take things incrementally, and find the physicality of grace. The result is more ease and clarity in every part of life.

In this 3.5 day program you will learn, play, connect in community, and have fun.

The Secrets of InterPlay may be taken separately, however it is designed as part of the InterPlay Life Practice Program. The Secrets of InterPlay is followed by the InterPlay Life Practice Program - one Saturday a month for 8 months. It begins October 21.

Get your body, mind, heart, and spirit all on the same page. Learn about yourself through connection and community. Create more ease and fun in your life.
