Honest, playful and challenging, the show delves inside the worlds of ordinary people who for various reasons call themselves ‘Christian’. The dancers dive into the vibrant, complex realities of faith, and emerge with a surprising mix of dance and theatre. As the sounds of voices telling their stories are woven into the soundtrack, a rich collection of personal thoughts and experiences is unearthed…

Last year’s festival, Dan Cossette in front of Great St. Mary’s Church -
Infusion was pleased to work with Innovo France once again for their annual mime and dance intensive. Daniel and Melanie Cossette worked with the dance track exploring Modern and Contemporary dance, movement generation, improvisation, and offering electives from flags to capoeira, jazz to hip hop.
The Christian workshop also focused on the Biblical foundation of the arts, and looked at the use of
dance and mime in the modern church setting. Inspiring talks from the faculty explored the purpose of art in a liturgical and spiritual setting. Then opportunity was given to the workshop participants–and the community–to explore mime and dance in a participatory creative worship time. The time of holistic worship was inspiring and invigorating, and many of the students said that they had been significantly impressed by the experience; some even said they’d been healed of injuries, and one woman experienced the shrinking of a painful tumor!Melanie and Dan return to Cambridge to continue on going classes, inspired and excited for their Spring projects.

When you work in the arts industry, you know last minute changes happen. It never prepares you for them though! After months of preparation and rehearsal for this year’s annual shadow show at Anglesey Abbey (see Upcoming Events), Infusion performers/choreographers Mel and Dan Cossette realized they would have to completely reverse the shadows of the Mouse King and Nutcracker for the duel scene–only the climax of the entire show.
With dress rehearsal and show day less than 36 hours away, it was back to the props workshop to rebuild the shadow puppets, reversing the handles, and then switching all the choreography to the opposite hands. No biggie, right?
Look for last minute ticket releases for the sold-out hit event Winter Lights at Anglesey Abbey, Lode, UK!
