homeLA is proud to present The Weight of a Dream, a site-specific dance by choreographer Genna Moroni and director Christina Burchard, performed by Marlie Couto at the historic MHA Site Office in Crestwood Hills.

The Weight of a Dream is a new dance work that explores utopian ideals of community and affordable housing while confronting the history of fire, resilience and reinvention that continues to shape Los Angeles. The evening includes a soundscape by Joe Berry, a sunset reception, and a post-performance conversation with the artists and designer Bryony Roberts.

The Mutual Housing Association (MHA), was the first successful large-scale cooperative housing development in California. The MHA Site Office, the community’s first structure, served as the workspace for the architects who realized this ambitious dream. Today, it is a private residence cared for by architect, author, and historian Cory Bruckner, who has been instrumental in preserving the legacy of Crestwood Hills.

The Weight of a Dream was curated by Chloë Flores, produced by homeLA in partnership with Cory Buckner and Bryony Roberts, and generously supported by homeLA’s community.
