Catch Karen Campbell's interview in the Sunday, December 9th, Boston Globe with Father Bob, where they talk  about  "Christmas Reflections", "A Dancer's Christmas" and his heritage  as a Jesuit and a choreographer:


 'It's such a  passion, for me there is no separation between religious  expression and  movement expression. It always comes together quite  spontaneously. It's when I'm most alive.'

Q.  At the core, what do these shows mean to you and perhaps to the others  who come to them year after year? What is the takeaway message? 
 
A. It's about the profound sense of joy that is available to all of us in  the Christmas season, no matter how we celebrate it. From a religious  point of view, it's about God loving us so much that he wants to dance  with us. These days there's so much negative  about God and salvation. My image is that God is enmeshed in the flesh of Jesus. He wants to have  arms and legs so he can dance with us.
