Synopsis:

Watch and Pray is a soul-stirring stage drama that will have you leaning forward in your seat. Prophet Worthy walks, talks, and preaches like a man of God, but behind closed doors, he is playing for the other side. This wolf in sheep’s clothing knows how to work the crowd, twist the Word, and keep folks under his spell.

When a few bold believers start to see through the act, the battle is on to pull back the mask before the whole flock is led to destruction. Packed with powerful performances, church drama, and spiritual warfare, Watch and Pray will make you laugh, gasp, and think twice about who you let speak into your life.

Artists will be encouraged to generate original movement material, investigate personal and cultural narratives, and develop their choreographic voice while working alongside a diverse cohort of creators. The lab values curiosity, risk-taking, generosity, and mutual support. Participants should come prepared to move, reflect, collaborate, and contribute to a creative community dedicated to artistic growth. Prior choreographic experience is welcome but not required; what matters most is a commitment to the process, an openness to experimentation, and a desire to engage meaningfully with others.
