Theology and Vocation for Performing Artists

Fuller Theological Seminary and the Brehm Center present the following course offering:

Theology and Vocation for Performing Artists

July 12-15, 2010 in NYC

Course Description: Christian artists working in theatre, dance, film, television and music face challenges unique to the cultures they inhabit and the work they do. The performative act places a focus on self that easily slips into solipsism. Economic and moral demands are often in conflict with Christian ethics. The artists may face antagonism or isolation. On the other hand, the opportunities for faithful Christian walk and culture making are plentiful. In this course we will read about and discuss ways Christian performing artists can discover their calling and apply theological truths to their artistry, and we will meet NYC based performing artists who are doing just that.
