Keene, NH
Sunday, November 18th, 2018, 3pm-4:30pm
Using simple incremental tools of story and movement, stillness and song, participants will explore the layers of what it is to be a guest and to be deeply welcoming, all in an ethic of play. What are the elements of guesthood and hosting? Gratitude? Open-mind and open-heart? Connection, loneliness? Are we guests on this land? Do we fully welcome each other into our own familiar spaces?
Cost: $10-$20 sliding scale

Judith Reichsman
Judith Reichsman met InterPlay co-creators Cynthia and Phil at an InterPlay workshop in Berkeley, CA in 1989. She became an 'ecstatic follower' within a week of being introduced to it. She moved to Berkeley to go to Grad school where Cynthia was teaching so that she could to do more InterPlay and learn to teach it. Years later, she moved to North Carolina in order to do more InterPlay, and after 3 years of performing with InterPlay NC's OFF THE DEEP END, moved back to Vermont to find 'InterPlaymates' there. THEN, the Universe sent InterPlayer extraordinaire AINE DEDAANAN (Anya!) to Keene, NH, 20 miles away from her Brattleboro (Wantastiguet), Vermont town!!! So she has a nearby playmate and co-leader! Judith has Masters degrees in Dance and Theology and loves both leading and following, fullness & stillness, 'intering' and playing.
