Why do we need this?
We believe we are all standing on the edge of a giant revival that will sweep through the church and culture … and this time it will be ushered in through the creative arts. So please don’t miss out on this opportunity to dive deep and be part of God’s great move of the century.
Come join The Creative Revolution.
Where Faith and Ideas collide.
One heartwarming truth is that God has equipped our congregations with diverse gifts and talents. Especially in an area that is of critical importance in this season – Media and the Creative Arts. As a community of creative professionals called VOH Culture, who are challenged by an urgent vision to train and equip creative people with essential skills. Please take a moment and imagine the life and energy the creative community in your congregation can unleash; when they are trained, equipped, and anointed. Whether it is in
- leading Worship,
- bringing a new voice through Songwriting,
- opening up the gates of Praise through choreography and dance,
- creating breathtaking videos or
- bringing healing through worship painting…
The revival that creatives can channel, is unfathomable.

The Streams
Creative Writing and Direction
The creative writing and direction segment aims to focus on skills and techniques in the creative process across segments of Storytelling.
This segment is for people from a broad spectrum of art, media and communication to help exercise the imagination muscle, gain insight and better understand the creative process.
Regardless of the form, all art evolves from an image or a concept scribbled on a piece of paper. If a film, song, art, dance can begin to look good on paper, it will only get grander on screen, stage, canvas etc. Therefore, the lab will broadly cover where and how to begin with your idea and an exploration of the various writing tools, techniques and exercises available to traverse the creative journey and confidently put your expression out there for the community.
Coming with a background in film, my focus will be skewed to stories on screen and occasionally from theatre, novels or other media. However the skills and techniques should generally apply across expressions.
What we can together hope to achieve is an exploration of craft, technique and skills in creative expression. In creative direction, one should be adept at developing and understanding a creative brief, chalk out the communication objectives, equip oneself with research and bring together appropriate people and material resources to create a piece of communication. TCR will hopefully bring some level of confidence to participants to create and enhance creative collaboration.

Songwriting
Songwriting can be the most rewarding form of writing!
You can do it alone or you can do it with a group. What we do in the stream is to ensure you get all the basics of songwriting that pretty much every song ever written follows. It’s not a formula, but there is a form and structure that you need to know. You’ll also get some insider tips to get to a song idea faster.
As part of the workshop (if you pay attention and bring your A game), you’ll craft your own song and get it reviewed while you’re with us.
The stream should give you everything you need to get you started or help fine tune your songwriting journey, which could engage you for a lifetime!
Filmmaking
Film is a highly collaborative process.
Directors, Screenwriters. Actors, Stylists, Makeup artists, Set and prop designers, Camera Crews, Editors, Musicians … the number of people that can get involved is diverse and exciting.
In the filmmaking stream, we tackle the fundamental basis of HOW to crack a story that could get the ball rolling.
Why is this part so important?
- Almost everything starts AFTER the script / idea is done.
- It takes the same effort to make a good film or a bad film or a great one!
And this is also probably the hardest part of the process. But it is worth mastering or atleast understanding.
In doing so, you will also be able to find your place in the filmmaking process and we cover that as well, as we get into the stream. The interesting part is that even shorter films, sketches, and the average youtube video follows a certain production process that are shorter or simpler versions of film thinking. So we hope that you’ll understand the big picture first and be able to implement it no matter what form of film / video you go on to create.
This is the Streams outline:
- The demand for video
- Types of Videos in 2024
- Thinking for film
- The technical basics
- Ideation Exercise
Dance & Flags
In the dance stream, we will be learning how to express ourselves through movement and dance, whether it’s in our private time with God, as a powerful tool of worship and intercession in the church, or as a gift that God has given us to share with the world. We will also learn techniques for using worship flags and their significance in the Word. We desire to collectively integrate each one’s unique style of dance and the techniques learned to choreograph a dance together by the end of the workshop.
So now, come on, put on those dancing shoes and join us as we get ready to bring heaven down through this unique gift of healing, joy, and redemption given to the body of Christ.”
Who is it for?
This unique hands-on workshop will bring together experienced songwriters, filmmakers, designers, writers, worship/flag dancers, worship painters, spiritual mentors and others, to pour their learnings and build skill levels in various art forms.
So, all you need to do is to come alongside this vision to collaborate and partner with us. At this crucial time, it is UNITY which will unleash the blessing that the community desperately needs.
If you see potential in this event, please pray and encourage your youth groups, churches, media organisations, etc, and spur them to participate.
No prior qualification is required other than a burning desire to serve and a willingness to learn. For those with experience, this will be a time to take their skills to the next level.
