DESCRIPTION:June 1-3, 8 PM (Performances) & June 2-3, 4:30 PM (Walking Tours)\n\nHope 
 Mohr Dance (HMD) announces the premiere of Precarious, June 1-3, 
 co-produced by CounterPulse and in collaboration with Shaping SF Walking 
 Tours.\n\nKlockar's Blacksmith shop was the last of its kind in San 
 Francisco. Blacksmith Tony Rossellini worked for forty-five years in this 
 small wooden building surrounded by skyscrapers. So did visual artist Tracy 
 Taylor Grubbs, who used the building's second floor as her studio. So did 
 choreographer Hope Mohr, who had a longstanding improvisation practice with 
 Grubbs on site.\n\nAll that changed in November 2016.  The day after the 
 election, Grubbs and Mohr learned that the building would be converted into 
 a cannabis dispensary. Grubbs has been evicted. \n\nGrubbs' dislocation is 
 not unique. A recent San Francisco Arts Commission survey of nearly 600 
 artists in San Francisco found that over 70 percent had been or were being 
 displaced from their workplace, home, or both.   \n\nIn response, 
 choreographer Mohr is creating Precarious, a walking tour and dance 
 performance that begins on the sidewalk in front of 443 Folsom and ends at 
 CounterPulse. The first part of the event is a labor history walking tour 
 created in collaboration with the public historians at Shaping SF Walking 
 Tours. The second part of the event will be a performance at CounterPulse, 
 a former adult movie theater turned cultural hub in the Tenderloin.  Mohr's 
 ghostly dance will explore the vulnerability of the moving body in a 
 changing environment. \n\nMohr's Precarious marks the ten-year anniversary 
 of Hope Mohr Dance. San Francisco's gentrification boom threatens the 
 city's identity as a progressive, inclusive city. "In this environment, I 
 feel an acute responsibility to be both artist and advocate," Artistic 
 Director Mohr states. "Precarious will give audiences the chance to 
 remember the history of working bodies in San Francisco's and to witness 
 the cultural vitality so key to the city's future."\n\n$20-$35.\n
