Overview
Joe Goode Performance Group (JGPG) has a 30-year history of creating innovative dance work, synthesizing a genre of dance-theater that combines spoken word, song, and visual imagery. The works alternate between conventional proscenium work and walk-through, multimedia performance installations, challenging the traditional audience experience. The company is an icon in the Bay Area dance community, and will celebrate its 30th anniversary season in 2017. With continued support, JGPG will increase its operational capacities, mount its annual season performances, and make improvements to its Mission District theater.
