The Poetics Fund

“The movement towards performance installation is not a movement away from the magic of theater but a fresher, more realistic way of actively engaging the viewer.” – Joe Goode 

Be a part of the adventure!

Make a special gift to The Poetics Fund and bring JGPG’s new performance installation to life. Derived from the book, The Poetics of Space, by philosopher and architect Gaston Bachelard, this immersive dance theater installation at the Joe Goode Annex will explore a series of intimate spaces – the Nest, the Corner, the Drawer – and allow the viewer a cinematic “close-up” experience of each space. Imagine moving through a performance where you can create your own adventure; where your decision of where to turn, to step, to look, and to listen will determine how the performance unfolds.

This exciting project can only become a reality with your generous support. Donate today to help us bring this project to life, and enjoy the exclusive benefits.

Thank you to all our production sponsors who have generously contributed to The Poetics Fund so far.
