Like food? Food presentation? Join the Food Presentation Committee for the Wine & Chocolate Benefit

Volunteers sought for the food presentation committee for our Wine and Chocolate tasting benefit for Perceptual Motion, Inc. Dance Company on Saturday November 9. Tasks include plating food and chocolates, arranging presentation on food tables, managing food tables during the event and clean up. Must be available on the day of the event at 5:00 to set up. In return, we'll give you 2 tickets to the 50/50 drawing. If you cannot start at 5:00 or stay the entire time, no problem-the evening naturally falls into 2 shifts. Just let us know what times work for you.

The benefit raises funds for Perceptual Motion's programs for elders and children, Dancing in the Square (its annual dance festival in NorthCenter) and its annual concert. Contact Lin at 773 549-3958 or pmidance@gmail.com.

Mission Statement

Perceptual Motion, Inc.'s mission is to engage dancers of mixed generations to create inspiring and meaningful dance experiences that open awareness, challenge perceptions and create community.

Description

Perceptual Motion is known for intriguing choreography and skilled dancing. The company was born out of the belief that people of all ages and backgrounds can be touched and empowered by dance. Perceptual Motion's programming explores and celebrates the powerful impact of dance and its true purpose: to communicate, express and celebrate life.

Programs include dance concerts for the general public as well as dance residencies, workshops & performances for children and wellness programs for elders at Weiss Hospital, through the Mather Foundation and at the Breakers Retirement Apartments. Its programs create bridges between generations, ideas and levels of dance understanding. In all its endeavors it promotes dance/the arts as an integral part of life.

The company is composed of professional dancers who range in age from 25 to 71.

"Shook's small company is clearly flush with ideas and innovation..." Sid Smith, dance critic, Chicago Tribune, SeeChicagoDance.com

The National Center for Creative Aging honored Perceptual Motion Inc as one of six organizations nationwide to be named Selected Best Practices in Dance for Older People. The company has performed for the National Center for Creative Aging and the National Center for Gerontological Social Work Education conferences.

"...the spectrum of ages and movement ability creates an inspiring dichotomy-one that's very robust yet calming; ethereal and real" Lucia Mauro, Chicago Tribune
