About InterPlay + Body Wisdom
Celebrating Our Creative Birthrights: Movement, Silence, Story and Sound
InterPlay/Body Wisdom, a non-profit arts organization, stands at the intersection of Improvisational Arts, Spirituality, and Social Justice. This unique event seeks to create a space where individuals and communities can come together, using languages of the body to explore and express peace in its many forms.
An Active, Creative Way To Explore the Wisdom of the Body
InterPlay is easy, fun, and life changing. It is based on a series of incremental “forms” that lead participants to movement, stories, silence, song, ease and amusement. In the process, we discover the wisdom in ourselves and communities. InterPlay integrates body, mind, heart and spirit. It fosters resilience, creativity, innovative thinking and community.
Born of the collaboration between Cynthia Winton-Henry and Phil Porter, two dancing ministers who sought to explore the intersections of movement and spirit beyond the boundaries of religion. Now, 30 years later, it is practiced in communities, schools and organizations in the US, India, Australia, Germany, Ireland, The Netherlands, Malawi, Uganda and beyond.
