Why Artist Pay?

Artists are leaving the Bay Area at alarming rates. In the face of this trend, HMD is pushing back with unique programs that support a network of artists and a commitment to artist pay unparalleled in the field. Artist pay makes up over 60 percent of our annual budget. Help us make it possible for artists to stay and thrive in the Bay Area.

If you are unable to attend the benefit but would like to make a contribution in support of HMD’s multidisciplinary programming, visit: www.hopemohr.org/donate

Ode (to forgotten bodies)

“The serious problems in life are never fully solved, but some states can be resolved rhythmically.”  –Theodore Roethke

How do we shift ancient patterns of relationship?
How can we recover our freest selves?

Ode (to forgotten bodies), a new dance by Hope Mohr co-created with performers Belinda He, Jane Selna, Natalya Shoaf and Karla Quintero, and in collaboration with sculptor Danae Mattes, explores rhythm as a mode of listening and a portal to freedom. Sculptor Danae Mattes’ installation “River Passage” will hang in the space, conjuring an immersive environment for movement and sound.

Amy + Hannah Wasielewski are sisters who live, heal, and dance together. We investigate our shared imprints and unwind our innocence. Maybe we are cowboys. Maybe we are good girls. We are haunted yet tender.  This work features music by some of our favorite 90s female stars and experimental sound by Sangeeth Kumar.

Kim Ip presents “A Crossroad”, an inquiry about the 11 year long conservatorship Britney Spears has been living with. Pure fandom meets intense empathy for a star who has been trapped by mental illness.
