A Time to Dance: Building Community
The Sunday Forum: Critical Issues in the Light of Faith
The Very Rev. Samuel T. Lloyd III, host
Is there a spiritual connection between the mind and the body? Can simple movements lead to profound insight and self-understanding? How can dance, at any level with any group, help build community? Join Dean Sam Lloyd and dance choreographer, theorist, and community builder Liz Lerman as they explore the ways that dance and movement engender civic dialogue and underscore our shared values.
