A Celebration of the TRUE meaning of Mother''s Day! A Day of Peace, Freedom and Non-Violence. Stories, songs, dance made "in the moment" on re-imagining this holiday. Bring your mother or child for free.
The theme for this one-of-a-kind performance is "Honoring the Mother, Honoring the Earth" and featured artists include Thandiwe Shiphrah, Emily Green-Cain, (director), Michele Flynn, Diane Saliba Ault, Christina Van Regenmorter, and several other InterPlay artists/storytellers/dancers/music makers.
Special music will be provided by Nell Levin, Ron Ault, Vivian Slade, and Deidre Jenkins, James Nihan and Baba Musa have been invited. The soul-stirring art of Thandiwe Shiphrah and Marla Faith will be on display as well.
"The Heart of the Matter" (the mother) will invite play around the universal aspects of "mothering"... the earth mother, the divine feminine, the evolutionary principles of birthing a world with creativity, consciousness and compassion! The performance will be shaped with suggestions from the audience and will include stories, songs, and dances mostly made "in the moment" from the fertile imaginations of InterPlayers!...
