Faith at the Fringe - Episode Four

Sanctuary First

“Suffer us not to mock ourselves with falsehood”

Sanctuary First minister Ruth Kennedy is joined by co-host Hannah Sanderson along with today’s guest Paul Burrows discuss the role of
movement and dance in faith.

TS Eliot’s poem Ash Wednesday is widely regarded as a work of great spiritual depth. Its images are full of movement, making it highly suggestive for choreography and the art of dance. Paul Burrows (dancer/priest) has created a piece in which movement interacts with the speaker in Eliot’s poem; narrated by George Ormerod. A highly unusual integration of the arts of dance and poetry.

Join Paul on the 13th of August for Dancing Ash Wednesday at the Edinburgh Festival of Sacred Arts as part of the Fringe.
