Join us for an evening of free public programs featuring dance and music in conjunction with the exhibition Matthew Ritchie: The Demon in the DiagramKelley Deal, lead guitarist of the Breeders, and noted composer and clarinetist Evan Ziporyn, both longtime collaborators with Ritchie, will perform together while discussing the nature of the project. San Francisco-based choreographer Hope Mohr and members of her company, in residence for a week, will perform an original work, highlighting how bodily motion can physically extend the ideas inherent in the work. These innovative creators will perform in the exhibition galleries in response to Ritchie’s installation, supporting the Moody’s goal of generating creativity across and among diverse disciplines.

About Hope Mohr Dance
The mission of Hope Mohr Dance is to create, present and foster outstanding art at the intersection of the body and the brain.

Her work has recently been presented at the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art, SFMOMA, Movement Research, ODC Theater and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. She has held residencies at Montalvo Arts Center, the Interdisciplinary Laboratory in Art, Nature and Dance, Stanford Arts Institute, the Petronio Residency Center and UCLA's Department of World Arts & Cultures/Dance. In January, Mohr will premiere a dance theater adaptation of Ben Lerner novel's Leaving the Atocha Station at Southern Exposure in San Francisco.
