The body sings the song of the spirit, whether in joyous praise, poignant lament or cries from the depths of deep questioning and petition. In this presentation, we shall explore a Theology of the Body and Dance as a language for liturgy in the history of Juadaeo-Christian tradition. The focus for present-day application of movement expression will be on connecting individual empowerment with an ecological ethic that is continuous with the Theology of Creation.
