The Cathedral Dance Research Project is grounded in the notion that numinous experience may be a distinct category that causes our lives to seem not just meaningful, but profoundly, overpoweringly and metaphysically so. Such experience is understood to emerge when our existence, or something that is in its essence, is found to be, in a non-ordinary sense, wonderful, awesome, beautiful, worthy of love or filled with a special energy or spirit. The research serves the intention that the production and performance of danced works, made primarily for cathedral settings, might provide performers with numinous experience and so a numinous practice. This experience, if made visible, might form its own expression and so be transmitted to witnesses. Along with the production and performance of dance events the project generates music, writing, and photography.
