INTERPLAY
Interplay was developed by Cynthia Winton-Henry and Phil Porter, two dancing theologians, about twenty years ago. Â Interplay is a movement practice, a folk art, a way for grown-ups to play, heal, and love each other more fully, and a means of creating spiritual community through the media of dance, song, story-telling, and poem-making. Â It is ritual, art, and play, accessible to everyone, and infinitely flexible and adaptable.
I took my first contact improvisation class in April 2002, and jumped in to the practice with both feet. Â Cynthia and Phil encouraged me to improvise poems in performance, and from that I have become interested in channelled poetry a la Rumi. Â
Currently, I perform with Wing It! a company of improvisers who use Interplay forms and techniques to create spontaneous and participatory theater. Â I also teach occasional workshops in the art of improvising poems. Â
