Secrets of Art and Social Change with InterPlay 2021 Online

Online, ONLINE
Thursday - Sunday
July 8th - 11th
July 8th - 11th
InterPlay is a practice that invites us to play with our birthright practices of movement, song, voice, storytelling, dance, and stillness to connect more deeply with our inner body wisdom and build connection through community. InterPlay as a social movement is dedicated to ease, incrementality and human sustainability - noticing what feels good in the body, while seeking and creating more moments based on this knowledge.
This year’s Secrets of Arts & Social Change w/ InterPlay program is for people of all ages. We are aiming for half of the participants to be Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color. Other applicants will be notified as space opens up on their acceptance to the program.
We will offer a Life Practice Program version of Art & Social change in the fall of 2021. Stay tuned for details.
The program offers a chance to:
-Share and reflect on our experiences as people passionate about the intersection of art and social change
-Plug into a community that cares deeply about the world, earth, each other, and a true reflection of what equity means
-Explore the transformative power of play through both new and ancient ways of knowing, honoring ourselves and our ancestors along the way
-Hone our innate artistic gifts, nurture our capacities, and explore what supports us most along our journey of community and social justice

Pacing: We appreciate that these COVID times pulsate with mental, emotional, physical and spiritual demands. We invite you to play at your capacity, and honor your body wisdom around zoom burn-out.
We welcome the widest diversity of participants to the program. We’ll do our best to ensure the program is accessible to anyone who wants to participate. No previous InterPlay experience is required to attend, although it’s helpful to have a taste before diving deep. Racial Equity & Transformation are important to us as a community of practice. This program seeks to be present and sensitive to equity in our approach and play.
Art & Social Change Life Practice Program will be offered in the fall. Dates are to be decided.
