Aftermath in Ten Movements is the first full production created by Jamie McGonagill and Company.

Jamie McGonagill and Company’s mission is to create new work that roots the audience of today into their deepest human core, while connecting them to a universe much larger than themselves.

Each project by Jamie McGonagill and Company is a complete experiment, exploring new genres and methods of generating artistic material. Our body of work has included adaptations of children’s novels, an immersive narrative dance party, and an epic fantasy drama. We strive for each project to be vastly different from everything else we’ve made before. We create new obstacles and guidelines, always asking how we can make each new step bigger and bolder.

“Aftermath in Ten Movements” explores the first year in New York City after a series of massive nuclear and EMP attacks occur across the United States. The performance is an experimental and breathtaking combination of modern dance and post-modern movement, exploring complicated emotions and situations that arise after a massive national disaster.

Set to an original post-rock musical score by composer Dan Rider, this brilliant young company carves themselves through the grotesqueness of destruction and the beauty of re-awakening.

From the moments before the bombs hit, through the fallout, into the beauty of new beginnings, Jamie McGonagill and Company explore the complex consequences of our current way of life in America.

We are NOT a not-for-profit theatre company.

To be legally registered as a not-for-profit organization, an artistic company must pay an outside organization to certify them as such, then establish an executive board of their top donors, then pay other outside organizations to check their work every step of the way. It is, ironically, quite costly.

Something about this system seems innately wrong to us, especially as we prepare to ask for your support.

So we are not “not-for-profit”.

We are “for-art”.

We are taking the first step away from the system.

We are a theatre organization with integrity. Every dollar we make goes directly into the product you see. If additional donated funds remain after a project is settled, those funds go directly into our next production.

We will happily provide our financial records.

No part of your donation will be paid to other organizations for the right to make our art.

Your donation will go directly to the art.

Your donation will become a costume.

Your donation will become rehearsal space.

Your donation will become our stage.

And now, we ask for your support.
