After eleven fruitful years, HCL is departing Mana Contemporary. To mark this occasion, we are throwing one last party at our beloved fourth floor studio, often affectionately referred to as “the fishbowl”.
Old friends and new friends alike are invited to help us bid the studio farewell with an evening of what HCL is best known for: emergent, experimental, and collaborative performances that span and defy genres and disciplines.
Festivities will kick off with pizza and a special performance with Lawrence “Binkey” Tolefree, that will bring together beatbox rhythms, soulful vocals, and live-looping alchemy.
A jam session will follow: This is an open invitation to artists in our community to take the HCL stage one last time. All are welcome to share sound, music, dance, movement, video, projections, puppetry, performance, and more. Anyone who signs up will be able to present up to 15 minutes of material as a way to share emergent creative projects with an engaged audience, all while expressing gratitude to the space that incubated so many creative projects. Special guests, Cristal Sabbagh, Nick Turner, and others will help warm up the stage.
