“Marlene has and incredible gift of bringing dance, drama and music together to share truth in captivating and relevant ways. I have used her in numerous events and there has not been one time that the audience was not moved in a remarkable way. She has so many qualities that make her a champion - she is sensitive, competent, fresh, and understands how to move an audience to a point of contemplation and decision.”

She is a blessing to my ministry and I am sure she will be to yours. Use her…I do!”

“In my opinion you could not find a better person to shape your ministry in the area of the arts. I have seen her work with small and large groups alike and every time, she is able to meet their needs while taking their ministry to a completely new level. Marlene will leave your people with a deep hunger for more of the Lord and the desire to use their gifts to challenge and inspire. She has my highest recommendation!”

“As a choreographer and dancer I have seen the wonderful connection Marlene makes to creativity and its expression in movement and the human body. She connects with the theme or subject matter with good intellectual understanding and she makes the beautiful transition into visual expression. Most important, Marlene’s commitment to honor God in her life is evidenced in her work. In making Marlene a part of a project you are adding an artists who will work cooperatively with you and exhibit in her efforts the spirit and character of servant.”
