Claire Henderson Davis

Claire Henderson Davis is a performance artist, theologian and Gestalt therapist. Her work, in all its forms, explores the nature of human flourishing. Her performance work brings together artists from different fields, often involving collaboration between professionals and non-professionals. She is particularly interested in how we inhabit our bodies in the everyday, and her work focuses on developing new forms of participation and audience engagement. As a theologian, Claire is rooted in the Christian tradition while working to articulate a vision of God that redresses the imbalance of Christianity in relation to the divine feminine and sexuality. Her current project, under development with sculptor Caroline Mackenzie, is an exploration of the Divine Feminine in Christianity.

Claire is also the author of After the Church: Divine Encounter in a Sexual Age (Canterbury Press, 2007), an autobiographical coming to terms with her radical, Roman Catholic upbringing, and a re-imagining of the Christian tradition in contemporary language.
