Hope Mohr Dance is proud to present its annual Bridge Project: Ten Artists Respond to Locus, a multidisciplinary exchange with dance history produced in association with Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. HMD, in partnership with local curators, has commissioned a diverse group of ten artists to learn Trisha Brown's iconic dance Locus (1975) and create new works in response. HMD will present the ten premieres at YBCA's Forum on October 14-15, along with Locus Solo. Trisha Brown Dance Company (TBDC) Associate Artistic Director Diane Madden will teach Locus to the ten artists as the basis for them to develop new works in their different disciplines. She will also set Locus Solo, derived from the core movement phrases from Locus, on several local dancers.
Although Brown's work has inspired dancers and choreographers for decades, this project marks the first occasion where the Company's repertory will be taught with the intention of inspiring the creation of new works by artists from a variety of disciplines. The Locus project follows Brown's mandate that the Company continue new performance programming, increase educational initiatives, and expand her comprehensive archive. Mohr, as a former TBDC member, sees TBDC's new direction as an opportunity to use dance history as inspiration for the creation of new work.
