The Knowing @ Jack Studio Theatre

Aim

Help fund a short run of a new environmental thriller at the Jack Studio Theatre.

Bones in Motion is a new theatre company, formed by Imi and Ollie, who have put on several shows together but have decided it was finally time to make a company!

We will be producing our first production, 'The Knowing,' at the Jack Studio Theatre in Brockley, 7th-11th November.  'The Knowing' is Imi's first full length play, which she has been writing for over 3 years, going through several drafts, (and one pandemic) and we are very excited to finally share it. More details about the play below!

We are crowd funding to help with production costs. These include paying the actors, (the number one priority!) marketing the play to help us find audiences, and paying for some set and costume, although as much as possible will be borrowed/up-cycled/found in our shed. The production is entirely self funded, so we need to raise some money to make it happen. 

The hope is after this short run the play will go on to have a future life, including a longer run and bigger stages,  but to give the best chance of this happening we want to make our November run the best it can possibly be.

Any support would be greatly appreciated. You can donate to the project, (and receive some perks as a thank you) buy a ticket, come to our fundraiser, follow us on social media or tell your friends. 

Here are more details about the show-

Millie is not ok. After a very public mess up, this eco-activist is certain she’s about to be cancelled. But then she learns of a retreat in the Scottish Highlands - a self-sustaining commune run by like-minded people. The best thing about it? It’s free. All you have to do is hand in your phone on arrival and muck in. The timing is perfect and Millie makes the decision to jump straight in. 

At this remote property, Millie finds peace in nature and a sense of community. She grows close to her fellow misfit residents, bonding over their desire to seek solace from eco-anxiety (and party) but something just doesn’t feel right…

 If you could live in safety and never have to think about the climate crisis again, would you do it? Could you leave behind those you love, and not ask any questions?  The Knowing is an eco-thriller inspired by real events. It’s about collective responsibility, climate justice and the toll of 'knowing’ what the science is telling us, while governments fail to act.
