Sacred
Move
Sacred Move is a soulful evening of new dance, live music and spoken words to mark "Faith in One City". It was devised by Bisakha Sarker with support from David Heirons. The "Sacred Move" project demonstrates the presence of different faiths in the City. We achieve this by working in partnership with these faiths and have created a quality performance piece. We also initiated an outreach programme to inspire inclusive spirituality. The project encourages investment in culturally diverse artists to prepare them to take a fuller part in the Liverpool European Capital of Culture 2008 celebration. The project builds on strategic collaborations with artists outside the region to raise the national profile of artists from Merseyside and thereby improving their job opportunities. Chaturangan has created a project that celebrates Liverpool’s diverse cultural and devotional heritage. The project uses dance as a medium to bring these diverse faiths and traditions together and results in a performance in Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. The performance isl
a moving and spectacular artistic expression that can truly reflect the
spirit of ‘Faith in One City’. It is a multi-faith work with
contemporary artistic influence and gives aspiration to all including
those who were born in Liverpool and those who have adopted it as their
home.
The project began in April/May 2004 and the first performance took place in August 2004. The 2005 project in this series is called Across the Sea, and took place in Cork. Sacred Move features Levi Tafari (poet), Arun Ghosh (composer). We are putting a recording from the live performance here.
