For k>0 define the graph of non-separting k-multicurves to be the graph whose vertices are non-separating multicurves with k components and where two such multicurves are connected by an edge if they can be realized disjointly. We show that if k is smaller than g/2+1 then this graph is hyperbolic. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.4307v2
