Here’s the dance from Sunday, concluding our series, “Touch: Real Sex in an Artificial World.”
CONCEPT:
There’s an argument regarding our sexuality that we are nothing more than animals, and therefore should treat sex accordingly. Often times, said actions can lead to hurt and shame, as we are intended for more than physical relations. We are built for true relational intimacy on a deeply emotional and spiritual level, uniquely human.
In this dance, the lead character carries a past that she is ashamed of, symbolized by an animal tail. Every time another character tries to engage her, she tries to hide the tail from them, to front that she’s okay. The other dancers reveal to her that we all have things in our pasts that we’re ashamed of. Finally, God liberates us from our pasts, our shame, and our burdens, enabling us to truly engage and dance freely again.
MUSIC: Paper Route - Dance On Our Graves
