Ronald K. Brown, the first Mellon Fellow in Choreography at Williams, examines the role of the body in worship, spiritual practice, and belief systems. For this roving performance he brings Williams students and alumni together with community members from Pittsfield and Williamstown in a parade of spiritual dances. Along the journey selected performers share their testimonies through movement to fully underscore how the Great Mystery works across denominations. Viewers become participants in spiritual dances from South Carolina, West Africa,and Cuba as the group moves toward a shared destination.
