We are searching for people who can think outside the box to help us devise a strategic plan for moving forward in this uncertain time. Our resources are small-no staff, 2 dancers and the artistic/executive director.
Perceptual Motion, Inc. is a small non-profit, professional modern dance company with dancers aged 23-72. Its mission is to engage dancers of mixed generations to create inspiring and meaningful dance experiences that open awareness, challenge perceptions and create community.
The company gives concert performances, has classes for elders and works with children in schools. It has been hard hit by Covd-19, with all performances and events cancelled indefinitely.
Realistically we know we won't be able to have live indoor performances for at least another year. We have moved as many classes onto zoom as possible and are searching for new ways we can grow the organization and fulfill our mission.4057 N Damen Ave., Unit 1, CHICAGO, IL 60618, US
