Circumspect is a contemporary ballet based off of the advice given in Ephesians chapters 5 and 6. The chapters are meant to teach us to live “circumspectly,” which essentially means, “to be cautious.” The ballet begins with “Fruitless deeds of darkness,” (Ephesians 5:11) depicting sin and hopelessness. Throughout the ballet, the dancers slowly turn towards the light, becoming “children of light” (Ephesians 5:8) as they find hope in in Lord. This new work was conceptualized by director, Melinda C. Jacques, and choreographed by she and Nancy Glasscock.

“Everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes light. This is why it is said, ‘wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’” -Ephesians 5:13-14
