SUMMARY:Testament of Ann Lee at the HOP
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Dartmouth HOP for a film in their film society’s “Music in the Movies” on February 20th. Enfield Shaker Museum will be offering a Q&A session with museum curator Michael O’Connor and Shaker scholar Mary Ann Haagen post credits. \nTestament of Ann Lee Trailer \nAs a founder of the Shaker movement\, Ann Lee (Amanda Seyfried) was one of the most important religious figures in pre-Revolutionary America. With her powerful third feature\, Mona Fastvold (co-writer of The Brutalist) digs deep into Lee’s story\, especially the profound childhood and early adult traumas that impacted her psychology and shaped her influential religious views. \nLee’s tragic loss of all her children in infancy or early childhood\, along with her radically unique interpretation of scripture\, transformed her into a fierce advocate for a more equitable and utopian society. Her beliefs become a policy adopted by her devoted followers\, whose frenzied\, ecstatic worship—as Fastvold depicts it—almost serves as a communal substitute for sexual activity. The feverish ceremonies are inventively captured in musical numbers and original songs by Academy Award winner Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist)\, sung by Seyfried and the cast. \nGiving an intense performance\, Seyfried leads a stellar cast\, with impressive work by Thomasin Mackenzie\, Christopher Abbott (Poor Things) and veteran Tim Blake Nelson. Aided by the stunning cinematography of William Rexer ’86 and an astounding score and soundscape\, Fastvold offers a fascinating look at a compelling and complex figure. \nD: Mona Fastvold\, UK\, 2025\, 2h15m\, Closed Captions \nPurchase a ticket in advance on the HOP website – \nTicketing Website

SUMMARY:Shaker Music and Dance Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop offers an opportunity to explore Shaker spirituals\, dance and marching in the Shaker Meeting Room of the museum’s Great Stone Dwelling. \nNo previous experience necessary. Bring comfortable shoes.  \nThe workshop will be taught by Mary Ann Haagen\, Shaker scholar\, museum volunteer and Dartmouth Music Department resident scholar. \nSuggested donation $15. \n(Inclement weather date\, Sunday\, March 1\, 1 to 4 pm.) \nMany persons are curious as to the reason for using dancing or marching\, in our earlier religious services. It is amazing how much sound reason is behind the thinking of the early Shaker leaders\, and how much psychology was employed. \nIt was the belief of the Shakers that every faculty should be used in the worship of God\, and so\, various forms of physical exercise were introduced\, particularly the March. A group of eight or ten singers\, occupied the center of the room\, around which the members marched in perfect formation. It was with a graceful\, rhythmic motion of the hands as the members marched to the slow or quick tempo of the music. \nDancing\, or the March\, was not such a strange occurrence during a religious service of the early days of the Church. We have mention\, in the Old Testament\, of David and Miriam dancing before the Lord. Also there are 19 instances where dancing is mentioned in the Mosaic Law. \nThere was also a definite psychological purpose behind the Shaker marches\, seldom explained\, and rarely understood by the general Public. The perfect rhythmic body motions\, of a worshipper\, who combined this activity with a deep mental and religious fervor\, developed within himself\, a great spiritual inspiration\, almost impossible to understand or describe\, by one who has never witnessed or participated in this form of worship. But if one could have been present\, as I was\, and could have seen the perfect spiritual union that was produced when a soul combined the physical motions\, the singing voice and the dedicated heart\, in giving praise and thanks to God—I’m sure you would have agreed that the physical motions added a still greater dimension to the expression of Prayer. However\, as years passed\, and older members were unable to join in these marches\, the exercises were discontinued\, as it was considered necessary to maintain a perfect union among the members\, a service in which all may participate as One. \n~Sister Lillian Phelps\, Canterbury\, New Hampshire
