A Dramatic Declaration Of Christ As King
Two Time International Award-Winner
You don’t have to be a dancer to feel the impact — this ten minute dance film, based on the sermon “That’s My King,” will move anyone who watches it.
About KING
"King" begins in a living room with a young lady pulling a forgotten Bible off a shelf. She opens the Bible to the red letters of Jesus. Suddenly the red letters become living and active dancers dancing to the sermon “That’s My King.”
Behind The Sermon
S.M. Lockrige (1913-2000) was a renowned African American pastor who preached the famous sermon, "That's My King," in 1976. This dance film is a tribute to Lockridge's lasting impact. Learn more him here: San Diego History Center.
For the film, the vintage audio clip was re-recorded to achieve a clear, modern sound. It was our pleasure to work with vocal talent, Justin Spann. Learn more about this recording in our video film guide, “
Red Letters
Many people don't realize why certain Bibles are printed with red letters. Red letters indicate the actual words of Jesus. The dancers represent these "red letters" through their "alive and active" movement and red costumes symbolic of God's Word.
Choreography
The Director choreographed all of the dancers' movement to the bold, powerful, and poetic rhythms of S.M. Lockridge's voice instead of to music! The assertive and athletic movement is performed in the style of contemporary ballet on pointe.
Miracle Scenes
There are hints of Jesus' miracles and His death and resurrection. Look for Peter walking on the water, Jesus healing a lame person and a leper, Jesus forgiving the woman caught in adultery, Jesus delivering a girl through exorcism, and Jesus healing the woman with the issue of blood.
