About InterPlay™

InterPlay is a discipline where people practice ways of expressing themselves, using familiar forms of physical expression like:

• walking, running and stopping
• dance (all forms of self expression are welcome here)
• storytelling (nonsensical to profound)
• song (found in all human sounds)
• easy art projects

There are no pre-requisites to participating in InterPlay™ activities. People with all levels of physical ability can participate at their own pace and comfort.

This method is integral to all the Intuitive Plan courses and to the work of my web development company, Hand Spun Digital, Inc.

InterPlay is about remembering our innocence and playfulness that we all lived so easily as children. As adults and youths approaching adulthood take on every day responsibilities, InterPlay helps us to remember how to carry those responsibilities with more ease. While some find it therapeutic, InterPlay is not therapy. It is a way to express your self, or as InterPlayers call it, “your BodySpirit.”

While InterPlay is simply a form of expression for many, for others it is a grand form for improvisational performance. InterPlay in performance is often mistaken for choreographed or scripted works, when it is in fact entirely improvised. So how does it look so organized and together? InterPlayers talk about “finding the Group Body,” which is when they move together with ease and very little, if any, thought of coordination. It seems to come out of the way that they pay attention to their own BodySpirit and each other while performing.

InterPlay Leaders have been through specific training for sharing this discipline in a variety of contexts. Some choose to teach classes to the public on both the basics and advanced forms, such as performance. Some InterPlay Leaders apply the methods in various settings to enhance the work they are already doing. Intuitive Plan is only one application of InterPlay.

• cancer survivor support groups
• corporate trainings
