For a Lenten topic that’s truly “on pointe,” our guest today reminds us of the joys and rewards of freedom and discipline: ballet dancer and choreographer Silas Farley.

We discuss his early journey in discipleship and liturgical dance, holy coincidences that connected him with his Russian ballet hero, how discipline can lead to freedom in the Spirit both in dance and liturgical life, and understanding the meaning of “grace.”

Hold on to your leotards.

Silas is Armstrong Artist in Residence in Ballet in the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. He’s been a teacher and choreographer at places like the New York City Ballet, the Guggenheim, the Washington Ballet, the Met, and all over the world.
