Arrival Nov 15 - Depart Nov 24
We are excited to announce an InterPlay-full arts and cultural immersion in India in November 2025 from 15th-24th. A week and a half-long InterPlay immersion is being hosted in Kerela, India in collaboration with InterPlay leaders in India.
Kerala, known as "God’s Own Country," is a breathtaking state in southwestern India, renowned for its lush greenery, serene backwaters, palm-fringed beaches, and Western Ghats mountains. As a popular tourism destination, it offers Ayurveda, spices, and a rich culture of art forms like Kathakali and Mohini Attam.
Through the retreat, along with InterPlay sessions, participants would also get an opportunity to experience and dip their feet into local art forms like puppetry, dance, and textile arts.
The week and a half would be a mix of guided tours through the city, to temples and palaces, learning art forms and doing InterPlay! We can also guide people to continue their journey to other cities while in India by providing recommendations and best tips. We can even connect you with others coming to the program in order to travel together.
The leaders of the program will be launching a Leader Training Program before this Untensive so participants from that will be invited to come play and connect. We are hoping for a couple of days of overlap with the programs so you can meet this amazing international InterPlay Community.
All four leaders have a love for clown and performance. During the Untensive will be an informal witnessing night with performance and celebration, using InterPlay to share in the magic of spontaneously sharing movement, storytelling and voice.

-You can take an international flight to Ahmedabad, Mumbai, or Delhi but then you will take a domestic flight to Kerala
