Always exploring fresh ways for the ministry of dance-creatives to impact this nation-of-many-nations called Australia, Lucy prayerfully seeks people to participate in a New Thing era!

Her life-long passion for dance-arts, faith-journey, and her love of learning opened opportunities to study, travel and “create”, many of them through various local, national, and global initiatives of the ICDF community.  Hence, she is passionate about encouraging people in their dance-making and other creative expressions.  It is vital for them to recognise that their God-giftedness is essential to the ability of the contemporary Church to fulfill her call to partner with God in heart and world transformational work.

Small is the new BIG in our journey back to THE FUTURE!

Purpose

We exist to connect, empower and resource people engaged in movement-based arts to participate in God’s love, plans and purposes.

About 

For more than 4 decades, a community of dance-movement enthusiasts has networked around Australia, Oceania and the world.

We invite you “to dance” with us, whether that be a brief encounter or a lifetime commitment.  Through prayer, conversations, activities and events, we aim to co-journey in a spirit of respect, appreciation and celebration.

We want local expressions of Church to unify and flourish in their wider communities and beyond!

A time of invitation and opportunities

Having moved into fresh ways of being and doing dance in this nation-of-many-nations called Australia, we are prayerfully seeking people to participate in this New Thing of courage and creativity in Christ… for community and cosmic good!
