Where two or more are gathered... there's blocking

Episode Summary:What if worship is performance — not in the flashy, ego-driven sense, but in the sacred, embodied, intentional way? In this episode, I explore how musical theatre taught me to show up in worship with my whole self: voice, breath, presence, and vulnerability.From rehearsal rooms to sanctuaries, from curtain calls to communion tables, I reflect on the rhythm, beauty, and risk of performance as sacred offering. We’ll look at how liturgy and theatre share more than structure — they share soul.This isn’t about spectacle. It’s about presence.It’s not manipulation. It’s incarnation.Let the liturgy begin.🎧 In this episode:What the Church gets wrong (and right) about performanceWhy worship needs blocking, rhythm, and breathHow musical theatre shaped my theology of liturgyA benediction for preachers, performers, and anyone who dares to show up🎙️ Mentioned in this episode:Marcia McFee’s Think Like a FilmmakerWalter Brueggemann, Don Saliers, and the wisdom of ensemble work📖 Read the full essay version here: dustinwilsor.substack.com This is a public episode.
