A conversation with Dr. Kathleen Turner and Julia Start Fletcher about simple postures, gestures, and movement in worship that can open up formative possibilities for congregations.

This is a conversation excerpted from an interview on the kinetic arts in worship in the fall of 2020 for the Calvin Theological Seminary course: Music and the Arts in Christian Worship. Dr. Kathleen Turner and Julia Start Fletcher discuss “pedestrian gestures,” simple movements that non-dancers can perform in worship.
