"Dance as Prayer" Research: St Joseph Parish & Church Life Africa Collaboration

Project type

Research/Dance Performance

Date

Our next program is Dec 19, 2025

Location

Mishawaka, IN (USA); Lagos & Abuja (Nigeria)

A joint project between St. Joseph Catholic Church (Indiana) and Church Life Africa (Nigeria). We are researching, organizing panels, and arranging events centered around the experience of dance-as-prayer in both an American Midwestern Catholic context and a Western African Catholic context.

This project is made possible through a Vital Worship, Vital Preaching Grant from the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Grand Rapids, Michigan, with funds provided by Lilly Endowment Inc.

Dancers at St. Joseph Parish's "Praying the O Antiphons," centered around lectio divina and gestus divina/meditatio.

With CLA leaders, and His Eminence Cardinal Onaiyekan
