A Time to Dance
A Time to Dance aligns the similarities between
prayer and dance, exploring the physical and
immersive form of worship in the UK’s flourishing
Pentecostal Christian denomination. In these
churches, set up in converted warehouses,
congregations move to pop style music and
dramatic lighting, which become a central
element of worship.
The act of searching for God in Pentecostal
prayer – much like the act of dancing –
represents an immersive and transgressive
experience that transcends the banalities and
ebbing pressures of daily life; the physical act of
reaching out and the laying of hands on one
another in prayer resembling the human search
for answers and something bigger than
ourselves.
