Play Unto Others…

SoulPlay Performance Ensemble

What is often called “the golden rule” can be found in every major religious tradition on Earth. SoulPlay Performance Ensemble dives into this rich reservoir known as the Ethic of Reciprocity. Through dance, music, story and bodyprayer we explore what it means for humans to deeply know that we all share needs, loves, pains and hopes. Nine players, with the help of our audience, create this mystical exploration in the moment, making each show a unique, fully embodied meditation on the oneness of humanity.

Cast:

CathyAnn Beaty is a dancer, visual artist, certified InterPlay leader and master teacher. She is an ordained minister in the Untied Church of Christ and director of SoulPlay Performance Ensemble.

Marty Roddy has been creating all his life; dancing, singing and story~telling, designing ritual from Catholic high school masses to Radical Faerie circles, to peace vigils. In the last year he has performed in Manna Fest, The Unbelievable Beauty of Being Human, and Ball’s Cabaret.

Anita Doyle is a therapist who doesn’t play well with others. Her good friend CathyAnn thinks otherwise and makes her play anyway.

James Shattauer is a professional musician, three time Minnesota Music Award nominee, and lover of improvisation. In between his gigs he offers therapeutic massage and accepts invitations to teach InterPlay to kids and adults.

Kenneth Yoder is a poet, dancer and educator. His work has appeared in several local journals and at Patrick’s Cabaret.

Paula Spiteri is a former modern dancer, and is very happy to have re~introduced movement into her life through InterPlay. It connects her to her past, fulfills her present, and gives promise to her future. It’s never too late!!

  1. Watching your performance felt like being at an unusual type of church service. Entertaining and enlightening. Thank you for introducing me to the “dance as community building” way of life. I love it!

  2. A wonderful combination of dance and music and improvisation, and through ‘kinesthetic reciprocity’, you are involved, too!

  3. What a beautiful weaving of movement, stillness and sound - bodies intertwining with rhythmic melodies. Truly a show you won’t want your senses to miss!
