Mosaics Dance Co. Performance
Nov 23 7pm, Nov 24 3pm
Waiting on the Word is an Advent themed collection of dance works that will usher audiences into the wonder, hope, peace, and beauty of the season. As poet, Malcolm Guite, explains, we get the sense of the word adventure from "advent." Join in the adventure God sends us on as we explore and inhabit the many paradoxes Advent holds such as: past/future, dark/light, waiting/consolation, certainty/uncertainty, comfort/sorrow.
Mosaics Dance Co. is a modern dance company based out of Celebrate Dance Academy led by artistic directors, Sarah Pieper and Libby Johnson. With experienced dancers ranging in ages from 15-50, their annual performance has been bringing biblical truths and worshipful expressions of movement to audiences for almost 10 years. ​
