The Sacred in Motion: Tactics for Remaking and Reimagining New World
At CBA, McMillan worked on his book, Performance Criticism: Scripture, Sex and the Sacred, which questions how beliefs function through the performative. He also worked on a new dance work titled “Sacred.” McMillan sought to understand both the meaning of the religious body in performance and the arrangements of the religious bodies in space as central parts of both lived experience and enactments of spiritual practices.
