Alexandros · 04-01-2008, 10:30 AM

Hallo everybody ,

in one month from now i have to performe in a Catholic church with my wings

(just a single 5 minutes dance)
I never i had an experience like this before and im wondering if anyone of you did that before so you can help me!

From music i have one idea its a greek song by omega vibes called byzantin meditation if you know it, but im very open to sagetions about the music or for any idea for the "event" if i can called like this.

Take care
Alexandros

For liturgical dance, dancers usually select costumes that are more covered and less flashy than for secular performance. I think a white or cream-colored costume would be particularly appropriate. What color are the wings?

I have only once performed in a church. Basically I added fishnets and a semi-transparent layer over my bedleh - ie torso, arms and legs covered. The music I used was pretty mainstream Arabic. I had no problems with the cleric or congregation but this was a protestant church, so pretty liberal.

If you are familiar with the church, go with your gut. Otherwise, maybe ask what "rules" they have, if any.

They want me to cover my chest they dont want to be top less as i always do when i perform and i think they are absolute right.
Thats the only thing that they ask for.
