Body Church: The Embodiment of Christ’s Expression is an immersive and transformative activation that calls us to reimagine worship through the sacred vessel of the body. Curated specifically for the Lord Mayor's Chapel, this experience merges movement, prayer and gospel singing into an embodied expression of Christ’s love, power, and grace.

At Body Church, we activate the living temple within, bringing participants into deep communion with God through physical worship—where the body becomes a sacred altar, and movement an act of devotion. Through guided movement, somatic practice, and collective energy, we tap into the profound mystery of being Christ’s body on earth, reflecting His light and grace in every step, breath, and gesture.

This unique activation is for those seeking a deeper embodiment of faith, where the physical meets the spiritual, and where we become living reflections of Christ’s love in motion. Together, we cultivate a space of healing, unity, and divine expression, building a collective rhythm that amplifies the transformative power of Christ within us.

Join us at the Lord Mayor's Chapel for this sacred gathering, where we unite in the flow of worship, movement, and prayer, awakening to the divine purpose etched into our very being. Body Church is where the Word becomes flesh—an embodiment of Christ’s light through our movements, hearts, and souls.

HOLYHOOD by InforMotion Dance Company is a powerful fusion of movement and storytelling, exploring the tension between "Roadnaissance" and "Divine Rite". This dynamic performance delves into the urban rebirth of street culture (Roadnaissance) clashing and harmonizing with spiritual authority (Divine Rite), creating a rich narrative of transformation, struggle, and redemption. Through contemporary dance, spoken word, and immersive visuals, HOLYHOOD navigates the journey of identity, faith, and the sacred in the midst of modern-day realities. A visceral experience of movement and meaning, it redefines the sacred in urban culture.

InforMotion Dance Company is a boundary-breaking collective that fuses contemporary dance with powerful narratives, using movement as a tool for transformation. Rooted in urban culture and ancestral wisdom, we create immersive performances that challenge societal norms, ignite conversations, and awaken the spirit. Blending disciplines from dance, theatre, martial arts, and spoken word, InforMotion channels raw emotion into stories of resilience, revolution, and spiritual awakening. Our mission is to inspire social change and redefine dance as a force for personal and collective empowerment.
