Perceptual Motion, Inc. features a sneak peek at dances to be performed at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts in June. Included are Shook's newest
work, Where the Sky Meets the Sea, a trio for 3 women inspired by Lake Michigan in the early morning, the old favorite Poles Apart, Harvard Vallance's Dance 101 and the premiere of the dance created from PMI's Your
Ideas in Motion Contest* held in January.
Choreographers Lin Shook, Harvard Vallance and PMI dancers will discuss the new works and answer questions from the audience.
The Your Ideas in Motion Contest is an invitation for people to send in their ideas for a dance they'd like to see choreographed. Submissions were drawn out of a hat in mid January. The winner is given opportunity to participate in the
choreographic process in whatever way they wish. (attending
rehearsals, participate in brainstorming sessions, collaborate in
choosing music, costumes, props, participate in a Critical Response
Session and even perform in the dance alongside PMI dancers). The
finished dance is performed at PMI's annual concert at the Ruth Page
Center on June 11 2016.
