Light Gets In
Utilizing the container of InterPlay as a launching point for channels of play, we will explore some of the cracks happening in our systems and stable data. We will touch on “the groan zone” , “the shatter zone”, “scar inventory”, and “sitting in my discomfort” in relationship to personal and current events.
We will play with ways to rise up and shine through following and leading using movement, singing and storytelling forms. We will take note of these cracked places and ways light energy can come through. "Ring the bells that still ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." - Leonard Cohen
Come unity. Playing through!
