OUR MISSION

Local Commotion is a creative learning experience. Its mission is to integrate performance with education, going beyond the scope of historical text. It is Kati's determination to poignantly recreate American women from a simple pilgrim to those who opposed the injustices of slavery, demanding civil rights for all and all the strong ones in-between. She wishes to make this part of U.S. history tangible and accessible to audiences everywhere: to instill in them a deeper understanding of our past and how it shapes our future.

IMPACT

Audiences of students, families, festivlas and seniors alike remain enthralled during our performances. With integrity, Kati weaves together dress, the spoken word, and songs of the times into the presentation. The question and answer period is an intrinsic part of our program. It creates a strong bond of communication and repartee; one that engages both performer and audience. As performers, it is invigorating, and stimulating to experience this. One of our walking history presentations is a wonderful and exciting way to experience history!

YOU can see Local Commotion at these venues!

A FEW COMMENTS:

Even though it is a work in progress, Eleanor Roosevelt came to life! We loved listening to her early life and family secrets. …

Kati- It is remarkable to engage an audience of 200 fifth and sixth graders! I have not seen so many children so effectively engaged in a music program like I saw on May 28th (2009) when your group visited Markham Place School. Thank you for spreading your passion for jazz & blues with our community.
