Community Calendar

Now in its 9th year, Moms Like Me is a well-loved community event for families in the greater Bozeman area to raise awareness about perinatal mental health while honoring the beauty and complexity of motherhood.

Many mothers and families feel alone during the major life transition of growing a family. The goal of Moms Like Me is to change that so parents everywhere will look around and feel, "yes, me too. I am not alone, we are not alone."

You can expect an evening out, a supportive environment, and an event that celebrates the complex and beautiful journey of motherhood. This year's Moms Like Me features three mothers sharing their honest stories of motherhood, interwoven with our Mom Band. Free childcare is available at Dino Drop In for the event!

Cohesion Dance Project (CDP) presents a reimagined rendition of its unique production, Resonance ~
an evening of Art Inspiring Art, on Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 7:30pm at the Helena Civic Center.
At the heart of Resonance is a seamless fusion of dance and sculpture, enriched by live music, spoken
word, poetry, and visual art. This dynamic production showcases contemporary choreography by both
visiting and local artists, performed by dancers from across the community. Their movements weave
effortlessly through three original kinetic sculptures, accompanied by powerful spoken-word poetry and
live, original music.
Originally created and premiered in 2018, Resonance returns in 2025, centered around the captivating
metal sculptures designed and built by acclaimed sculptor and ceramic artist Richard Swanson. This
year’s production features additional artistic contributions, including poetry by bestselling author Tyler
Knott Gregson, original music by Joshua Loveland and J. Stuart Smith, visual art by Christina
Barbachano, Executive Director of the Holter Museum, and more.
The choreography highlights a diverse lineup of artists, including over 25 community and professional
dancers performing works by guest choreographers lisa nevada (New York City) and Toree Benson
(Butte), and local choreographers Julynn Wildman, Jess Partridge, Sarah Dassinger, and Tanya
Call.
A Gala event with Art Auction will occur just prior to the performance, starting at 5:30pm at the Civic
Center. Guests will have the opportunity to meet the contributing artists and enjoy hors d’ oeuvres,
drinks, and specialty desserts, along with exclusive Gala seating at the performance.
Beyond the stage, Cohesion Dance Project fosters a ripple effect of creativity through Resonance-
inspired School Arts Residencies. These programs guide students through a multi-genre artistic
process, equipping them with tools to explore various media and experience firsthand the endless cycle
of art inspiring art.
