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.

for general operating support
Joe Goode Performance Group creates original, hybrid dance theater that contains a unique combination of text, vocals, media, and humor with physical, high velocity dancing, all expressing the artistic vision of choreographer Joe Goode, and reaching 3,000 audience members each year. A studio space in Project Artaud in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood, acquired in 2011, has enabled the organization to provide multiple points of access to its work, offering more workshops and classes as well as utilizing the space for its own small experimental performances and rentals.
