About this project
“From a Different Clay” is an hour and a half contemporary dance performance with a 15 minute intermission; that captures the colorful, powerful, conflicted and yet spiritual beauty of the Latin culture. This performance will communicate with the audience on an intellectual, sensitive, and personal level.
Our Family Matinee “Se Feliz!” an enlightening and easy-to-understand hour long contemporary dance performance inspired by the book, “Have You Filled a Bucket Today?” a guide to daily happiness for kids by author Carol McCloud, recognizes the problem of bullying. However, the piece encourages positive behaviors and focuses on values like: Friendship, kindness, tolerance, acceptance, appreciation, teamwork as well as diversity. PMCD uses this story to educate children in schools throughout the Chicago land area, so they can create a healthy and safe environment for their lives and the lives of others around them. Children and adults have been moved by this inspiring performance, and it is sure to entertain and enlighten the spirit of the entire family as it premieres on stage at the Vittum Theatre.
