The Resilience Project at the CJM

By

Joe Goode Performance Group presents The Resilience Project, a collaborative project between JGPG and The Contemporary Jewish Museum, which aims to explore how we as humans deal with trauma, using storytelling and performance as a way of finding universality and strength in the face of adversity.

The Resilience Project performance, to be performed in The CJM’s Goldman Hall, is based on the lived experience of veterans, including many Bay Area veterans. The work draws on the stories of of veterans from the San Francisco VA Downtown clinic and the SFVA, Bob Basker 315 AL Post & Veterans for Peace chapter 69. Their stories, workshopped with JGPG in fall 2018, tell of the physical and emotional wounds of serving in the armed forces, focusing on recovery, resilience, and the ongoing process of adjustment to civilian life. The stories become the verbatim text for the staged work in which words, movement, gesture, and song collide in a visceral exploration of how we as humans deal with trauma and find strength in adversity.

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.

Sunday, 10:00am-11:15am [special time adjustment]
Suggested donation: $15

Registration:

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.
