Perpetual Motion Dance is presenting an original concert of contemporary and aerial dance entitled All We Have is Now. This evening length performance will feature the professional company’s signature blend of stunning visuals and technical ingenuity and also highlight the youth company of Prairie Dance Theatre’s Impact Dance Program, Perpetual Motion Dance’s pre-professional company, PM2 and selected performers from the Oklahoma Contemporary Dance Festival.
All We Have is Now, is a psychedelic fantasy rooted in the quest for self-discovery. Through a blending of post-modern and aerial dance performance inspired by the music of The Flaming Lips, audiences will be captivated by this abstract choreographic storytelling which captures the essence of youthfulness and the wonderment of uncovering new possibilities.
Excerpts from the concert will be performed as a “sneak peek” during the Oklahoma Contemporary Dance Festival at the Northwest Event Center on June 19th and 20th. Tickets for the festival are available at www.perpetualmotiondance.org. The full length concert will debut the following weekend with two performances at the Tower Theatre in Oklahoma City on June 28th at 2:00pm and 7:00pm.

Oklahoma City’s premier modern and aerial dance company, Perpetual Motion Dance, employs local, professional dance artists who diligently work through the process of experimentation and rehearsal to create original works that draw the audience into new states of awareness. These concerts, funded in part by a matching grant from the Oklahoma Arts Council, and additionally by donors including Allied Arts, and OK Let’s Dance, an initiative by the Kirkpatrick Family Fund, tour the state to bring this unique art form to a variety of settings including universities, rural and urban audiences.
