Just as society is divided by
class struggle, so the church and its theology are divided between an
ideological use of religion to sanctify the ruling
class and a prophetic tradition that denounces this misuse of religion.
In Liz Magic Laser's Kiss and Cry (2015), figure skating children voice their anger at being deployed as pictures of innocence and announce themselves as a political
class; in Jesse Jones's The
Struggle Against Ourselves (2011), dancers recreate études from Soviet biomechanical workshops in the style of a Busby Berkeley musical, highlighting aesthetic dialogues between
ideological paradigms; whilst in Jibade - Khalil Huffman's IF THIS MEANS YOU (2016), a persuasive rhetorical poetry has been wrought from seductive advertising imagery.
