FREEDOM through PLAY! for 6th-12th graders
Come and learn about InterPlay, an active creative process, where everyone gets to Play!
Jane Siarny and
Diane Rawlinson
Chicago, IL
Friday, MAY 6
InterPlay is hard to describe. It is both playful and profound. It uses forms associated with the arts—movement, storytelling, and voice —but does it in ways that don’t require particular skill or even nerve.
InterPlay is easy, goes step-by-step and anyone can do it.. The simple and clear structures of InterPlay create a wonderful freedom. InterPlay celebrates and creates connection and community. Through this simple sort of play we learn more about ourselves and each other. Facilitated by Jane Siarny, a Chicago-area Regional InterPlay Leader and trainer in the InterPlay Life Practice & InterPlay Leadership Programs and Diane Rawlinson, director of Wheeling High School Orchesis Program and a certified InterPlay Leader.
InterPlay is also for adults.
