PMI's dancers, who range in age from 23 to 73, bring a wealth of expressive wisdom from their diverse life experiences. Perceptual Motion's programming explores and celebrates the powerful impact of dance and its true purpose: to communicate, express and celebrate life.
In 2006 the National Center for Creative Aging honored Perceptual Motion as one of six organizations nationwide named Selected Best Practices in Dance for Older People.
"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)
