All of my work is a voice for people who are vulnerable, or outside of the mainstream—so all the programming we do here will reflect that.
Education
Dance for Parkinson’s Class
As an affiliate program of Dance for PD, Joe Goode Performance Group teaches a Dance for Parkinson’s class at the Joe Goode Annex. Our classes are based on the innovative Dance for PD program designed by the Mark Morris Dance Group and the Brooklyn Parkinson Group. Using this method, professional dancers draw on their unique expertise to help people with Parkinson’s Disease and their caregivers engage sight, sound, touch, thought, and imagination to bring control to their movements. Dancing in chairs, at a barre, or standing, experienced teaching artists will lead participants in an enjoyable blend of modern dance, ballet, tap, jazz, and social dancing. While strengthening, balancing, and moving in rhythm to live music, people with PD also experience the power of dance and music to sharpen attention, inspire, and empower.

Education Quote 2
We are not so different. So, make the dance that is personal to you. Risk feeling something, and keep an eye on what you can learn from the journey.
Home Page quote
In an unfeeling world, to feel something, indeed to craft something is an act of redemption.
Education quote
Our human experience is unique. No two humans are doing it the same way. Draw from your experience.

I want to liberate the dancer from his/her silence and create a total theater that is rigorously crafted but intimately personal.
Perfomance/education
The body is a political territory, every gesture, every posture is a statement of who this person is in this moment of action or this very public moment of being seen.

I want dancing to be about more than just how beautiful and flexible the body is. I want it to serve a more complex vision of our humanity, that we are flailing and absurd and in the process of decay.
