DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book examines what the bible says about both dance and worship, and relates it to an understanding of what dance is and how it can be used in the church and education today. Martin Bloggs relates his faith to his profession of teaching Dance Drama and his non verbal approach to Christian dance opens new avenues for the expression of the faith. The book is a critical discussion, both theoretical and practical, into the nature and conditions of religious dance seen within the disciplines of Scripture Education and Art.Although centred on dance much of the discussion is directly relevant to the performing arts in general.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLiturgical dance is a way to present, reflect, instruct, learn, study, and share religious beliefs with one’s self, within one’s worship community, and with one’s God. Such a belief is confirmed and witnessed within a variety of religious settings throughout the world from the beginning of time to this present age. However, there is a vacuum of resources that connect liturgical dance within the Christian context as a tool for religious learning within the field of religious education. With the continual rise of liturgical dance as an artistic form of expression, this book proposes that liturgical dance offers unique attributes conducive to the teaching and learning of faith and to faith formation. Kathleen S. Turner shows how liturgical dance is religious education in two very important ways: first, by addressing the power and potential liturgical dance has in nourishing the faith life of Christian congregants through means that are both educative and reflective; and second, by giving examples of how liturgical dance can be implemented as a religious-education tool within the teaching life of the church.
