Are you planning a praise dance for the solar eclipse expected on Aug 21, 2017?
As I listened to people in the "Solar Eclipse Belt ~ August 2017" discuss plans to capture and document this monumental natural event, my mind ~ naturally ~ drifted to the possibilities for worship-arts ministers! Not that I am suggesting we praise the sun or the moon or the specific line-up and crossover that will create a special band of darkness across a swath of the United States (and other places) in August 2017, but I thought: 'Wow, what would a praise-dance or mime ministry look like . . . in the natural . . . as the sky darkens, for two or three minutes . . . in selected areas? (Come with me, here, I'm thinking dances telling the story of the Crucifixion or similar events in which darkness enters, then is chased away by light . . . hmmm.)
Anyway, not all of the United States will be able to experience this event: Check the NASA website for the particular swath, stretching from the Northwest, diagonally across to the Southwest.
The swath starts in Oregon and runs through parts of Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, a northeastern-most tip of Kansas; diagonally across Missouri; the southern-most parts of Illinois; southwestern Kentucky; Tennessee; a northeastern portion of Georgia; and a diagonal swipe through South California (check this website and map for more details).
Keep us posted: We'd love to know what you're doing . . . Just had another thought: . . .what if dance ministries banded together ~ in their respective areas ~ to do the "same" praise dance, as the sun was 'darkened'? Hmmm . . .
