Civil Motions

Civil Motions is an exploration of multidimensional narrative told through vignettes.

The performers JoJo McDonald and Stefanie Weber use various techniques of physical theater, commedia dell' arte, image projection, and musical storytelling to represent characters in an allegorical struggle.

First developed for an international dance festival in East Africa, Civil Motions is distinctly rooted in the American experience and includes vernacular forms such as Jazz and Tap. Civil Motions is an original tragicomedy performance told in song, movement, and tap dance. Highlighting the choreography of hoofer Eddie Brown in an uncommon context.

All of our events are tiered through a three ticket system labelled Community, General Admission, and Pay-It-Forward to provide a more equitable and accessible balance to attendees.

All of these ticketing tiers offer the same general admission seating experience while also giving us the ability to offer a small batch of “Community” tickets at a lower tier to those in the community that do not have the funds to comfortably meet our General Admission price.

“Community” tickets can be claimed without proof of need, and we trust that those that need the offering will use it. The “Pay-It-Forward” tier is for those in the community that have the funds to purchase a ticket that helps to subsidize the community ticket category for each event.
