Mission

Boston-based Peter DiMuro/Public Displays of Motion (PDM) creates dance and dance/theatre, translating the humane within everyday lives into extraordinary studies of the human condition. Driven by collaborative models, the company brings together a sum of ages, races, queer and disabilities communities to create diverse subject matter and metaphor for their works on site, on stage, on screens. Through creative practice and products, the company is an agent of advocacy and creativity literacy.

The Company

The company of dancer/collaborators is adept in multiple movement and performance techniques and spans an age-range of six decades. Guest collaborators are often engaged in the processes and performances of the work, and have included those from the LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities, seniors and youth, disabilities communities, and intersections of civic entities  and citizenry, staffs of business organizations and family groups. The engagement process of culling personal histories and movement through inquiry and guided movement development creates a rare communicative power that translates into performances. Performances can be grand spectacles on-site, miniature, intimate dances on tabletops, dynamic explorations of words and images made for video and screen, or more traditional performances on stages.

PDM has been supported in residencies at the The Yard/Martha’s Vineyard, Vermont Performance Lab, Boston Dance Alliance, Villa Victoria Cultural Center/Boston (through support from New England Foundation for the Arts’ Creative City grant), The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and The Dance Complex, Cambridge, MA, where Peter is the Executive Artistic Director. Recent performances have included the debut performances at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival and at Gibney Dance in NYC in 2018; at Boston’s famed Hatch Shell in several commissions from Landmarks Orchestra; and at Boston's Museum of Science, virtually, in a collaboration with Masary Studios.
