Spirit in Jazz+Dance

Improvisation + Spiritual Formation

About the Event

The Spirit in Jazz+Dance is an embodied exploration of spiritual formation. Exemplified in the forms of improvised tap dance and jazz piano, the show features dynamic performances and intimate conversation.

Get a look inside Andrew's journey of apprenticeship in Tap Dance Land; bear witness to live improvisation and creativity (every performance is different!); learn how the apprenticeship model applies to faith and life!

Details

Tap dance artist, Andrew Nemr, and jazz pianist, Justin Nielsen perform together as master improvisers. Audiences witness the intimate knowledge they carry of their respective forms and the freedom they have in dialogue.

Following their performance they will sit together for a conversation about how they became the craftspeople they are, and how that journey is deeply intertwined with their journeys of faith and life. Audience members are encouraged to join the conversation with questions.

The event culminates with a final performance.
