Come play with darkness, imbalance, and each other.

InterPlay into Winter

Special all-genders-welcome class
Edward Joy and Amos Alan Lans

Oakland, CA

Thursday, December 19th, 7pm-8:25pm PST

Winter Solstice is almost here. Join us to celebrate the dark of the year! An easy, fun way to step away from fluorescent lighting and into a ring of firelight or the dark of a forest. We will play, dance, share stories, sing, howl at the moon, and welcome whatever comes.


The ongoing Oakland Men's Class invites people of all genders to join our group in-person to celebrate the Winter Solstice! Please reach out to Amos using the link below if you have any questions. We'll open the Studio by 6:50 p.m. to visit until the session starts at 7:00 p.m.


COVID Protocol: We require that folks either take a same-day COVID test and test negative or wear an N95 or KN95 mask during class. Our goal is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for people with a wide variety of health situations. If you have questions, please reach out to Amos via the link below.

Cost: $15 (or pay what you can)

Leaders
Edward Joy
Amos Alan Lans
Amos Alan Lans likes to tell folks, “I became a dancer in my 50’s, thanks to InterPlay!” Amos is one of the three co-leaders of the Thursday evening men’s drop-in class. He loves introducing InterPlay to groups of men, especially gay men, especially older gay men who are learning new ways of enjoying being in their ageing bodies as well as playful ways of connecting with other guys. Letting stories emerge from movement is one of Amos’ favorite InterPlay activities. For 20+ years, Amos set up and taught in public school gardening programs. He now teaches the joys of composting, gardening, and healthy eating to at-risk urban youth in North Oakland’s Dover Street Edible Park, near his home on 61st Street.
