In addition to Christian themes, the show will include a duet that is about the struggles of marriage - specifically issues of stagnation and rejuvenation. One rags-to-riches tale will be danced to the song “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman, and another dance will feature the popular Lauren Daigle song “You Say.” Savannah Huyard, artistic director of Cavod Dance Company II, has choreographed a piece called “Skeletons.” “‘Skeletons’ is a straight-up testimonial piece,” said Huyard. “It hits the nail on the head about how we take our secrets and feel like we have to shove them in a closet.” Huyard then described how secrets are destroyed when they are voluntarily revealed. “The Lord says when we expose those secrets to the light and ask for forgiveness … and let Him work through us, those secrets explode in the light and the darkness can no longer hold us.” See Cavod pg 6
