Jane Siarny
Jane Siarny, MFA is dedicated to uplifting the human spirit through creativity, community building, and body-wise practices. For me, InterPlay opens the door to an integrated spiritual practice that allows for freedom and growth. Throughout my 30 years leading and performing InterPlay, I have found it to be the one practice where I can express all of myself; body, mind, heart and spirit. I bring added experiences to my teaching from a lifelong dance career, yoga teaching, love of poetry, A capella singing, and working with children. I am the InterPlay Life Practice Program Coordinator, a Life Practice Program Leader since 1999, and a Mentor in the InterPlay Leader Training Program. My story can be found in MOVE: What the Body Wants by InterPlay co-creators Cynthia Winton-Henry with Phil Porter.
