Girl

By

Presented by Joe Goode Performance Group, Girl is an evening-length collaboration between contemporary choreographer Monique Jenkinson (in the guise of her drag queen persona Fauxnique) and electronic composer Marc Kate. Speaking to the feminine in everyone, Girl asks: “Who is the girl in you?, What could you tell her?” The work draws on the “final girl” heroine in horror, and her will to survive amidst misogyny, rage, and violence through to redemption.

I never understood why the dancer should be mute—a dumb rule in my book. I also do not view dance as separate from theater. I am interested in the performative moment as a moment of revelation, of intimacy. whatever can bring me there is fair game.

Dance for Parkinson’s Class

By

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.

Sundays, 12:00-1:15pm
Suggested donation: $15

Registration:
By phone: (415) 285-7377

This class is presented by the PDSF Network and Joe Goode Performance Group. Read more about the program here.

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.

to become other than dust

By

our species drawing lines
individualized, recontextualized, intertwined

to find solace, you ask us to soften
transparent and expressive
we find our mouths open, tongues tied
freedom of guilt spitting out their gaze

not softening, but fluorescent boundaries
finding futures there, in dreams
liberation:
a place we have yet to know

at the point of departure
we traverse the water in search of ourselves

friction between spaces
body based bumping in the dark
we have never known ourselves without you.

Work by: jose e abad, Malia Byrne, & Gabriel Christian

This project is Co-Produced with the Joe Goode Annex.
