Thur-Sat, Oct. 4 - 6: Shows each night at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Featuring Anne Carson's translations of Sappho and an ensemble of six performers, 'extreme lyric I' is an intimate work presented in the round for small audiences. The performance is constructed as a conversation between contemporary gender identities and an ancient approach to ecstasy.
Extreme lyric I features original text by trans poet, playwright and scholar Maxe Crandall, who performs alongside Rose Huey, Tara McArthur, Hope Mohr, Suzette Sagisi, Jane Selna and Karla Quintero. The creative team include Ian Winters (projection design), Theodore Hulsker (sound design) and Tony Shayne (lighting and set design).
Hope Mohr is a choreographer, curator and writer. She trained at S.F. Ballet School and on scholarship at the Merce Cunningham and Trisha Brown Studios in New York City. She performed in the companies of dance pioneers Lucinda Childs and Trisha Brown. Passionate about pursuing both community organizing and dance, Mohr earned a J.D. from Columbia Law School, where she was a Columbia Human Rights Fellow. In 2007, Mohr returned to San Francisco to establish Hope Mohr Dance to create, present and foster outstanding art at the intersection of the body and the brain.
