SUMMARY:Motus Theater Presents: No Contract by Kirsten Wilson
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n \n“No Contract” is a one-woman show exploring a mother’s request not to endure dementia. It asks: “is there a way to have dementia without tragedy\, when ‘to be or not to be’ is always the question?” \nCreated by Kirsten Wilson in honor of her mother and loved ones everywhere\, experiencing or caring for people with dementia. \n“No Contract” is a one-woman show by Kirsten Wilson about her mother’s dementia –Marie Wilson\, founder of ‘Take Our Daughters to Work Day\,’ LGBTQ+ leader\, author\, and equity-based feminist. \nThe dramatic ‘contract’ at the heart of this two-act performance is her mother’s request to be killed if she loses her mind. The production blends autobiographical storytelling\, “Hamlet\,” “King Lear\,” karaoke\, and audience engagement to explore the complex tension between choosing life and death—the “to be and not to be” of assisted suicide after a dementia diagnosis. \nIn “No Contract\,” Wilson uses humor & heart to prevent both the performance & her mother’s life from becoming a Lear-like tragedy. As Wilson says in Act One\, “My mother’s life was always supposed to be a romantic comedy\, a 1950’s musical\, except with lesbians dancing in the street. I will not let it turn toward tragedy.” \n*Note Wednesday\, 9/30/26 is a show for immunocompromised people. This show provides the following: Audience capacity is at 30% to provide space for two empty seats between audience members. KN95 masks must be worn by performers and audience members. Air filtration used. 6 feet of space between performers and front row. 6pm performance. See separate Dairy ticketing page to signup. \n**Note Saturday\, 10/3/26 is an all-day workshop and performance: \nSaturday\, Oct. 3rd\, “No Contract” Dementia\, Reflection and Writing Workshop with Kirsten Wilson. Take a day-long deep dive into the impact of caring for family members with dementia or negotiating your own fears of losing your mind with celebrated facilitator and artist Kirsten Wilson. This is an opportunity to gather in community to use the performance to launch your own reflections and writings on the impact of dementia and fears associated with aging. The morning will begin with a performance of Act I\, followed by personal reflections\, writing and discussion on dementia. After a shared lunch within small reflections groups\, a performance of Act II\, with a facilitated dialogue\, writing exercises and reflections. No skill as a writer necessary\, just willingness to courageously explore caregiving\, our mortality\, and dementia in community. (Lunch included in workshop fee). See separate ticketing page to sign up. \n  \n

SUMMARY:COmpass REsonance: CELLO MONK with Camden Shaw and CORE
DESCRIPTION:SUBSCRIBE\n TICKETS\nCamden Shaw\, cellist of world-renowned Dover Quartet\, joins CORE performing four roles in a single concert—orchestral cellist\, chamber musician\, soloist in an unaccompanied suite\, and concerto soloist. This program compares and contrasts the work of father and son: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1715-1788). It also compares late-Baroque style with early-Classical style\, including the remarkable visceral virtuosity of the orchestra and soloist in CPE Bach’s Cello Concerto in A Minor. \nAdditional soloists in this program include flutist Ysmael Reyes\, a COmpass REsonance member and longtime artist of Boulder Bach Festival’s ensembles. He is joined by guest artist Katy Wherry\, performing as flute soloist with COmpass REsonance for the first time. CORE’s Music Director Zachary Carrettin joins them on violin—performing the much-adored Brandenburg Concerto #4.\nProgram:\nBrandenburg Concerto #4 in G Major\, BWV1049 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)\nCello Suite #6 in D Major\, BWV1012 by J.S. Bach\nIntermission\nTrio Sonata in B Minor\, H567 by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1715-1788)\nConcerto for Cello and Strings in A Minor\, Wq170 by C.P.E. Bach \nApproximate run time: 110 minutes total\, including 20-minute intermission \nCamden Shaw is cellist of the Dover Quartet\, called “one of the greatest quartets in the last 100 years” by BBC Music Magazine. Mr. Shaw has performed ancient and new music in the world’s great concert halls\, including New York’s Carnegie Hall\, London’s Wigmore Hall\, and the Berlin Philharmonie. He was featured in STRAD Magazine’s Masterclass Series\, has presented sought-after content for Tonebase in addition to his own CelloMonk Instagram platform\, and joined the faculty at the Curtis Institute of Music in 2020. \nEvery soloist that collaborates with CORE brings unique artistry\, with each aspect of the collaboration conceived to offer a special experience to Boulder audiences. CORE’s co-directors performed with Mr. Shaw on stages in Texas and California and found his musicianship to be infectious—brilliant\, inspired\, and complete. COmpass REsonance artists are looking forward to this 2026/27 season opening concert! \n\n
