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.

Considering the future from a child’s perspective let’s open some records and invite dreams and other realities into a conversational dance. Time jumping as we bump up against each other’s time frames. This is a 3day improvisational exploration of child/adult dreaming asking the question, how much of my original essence is here and where is my heart located? Is this planet where I intended to land?
Round 2.

a full evening of contemporary dance choreographed by Khala Brannigan reflecting nature itself, accessing the innate wisdom and feminine intuition that lives with bodies and the earth. With twelve performers and original music composed by San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s MaryClare Brzytwa and Costas Dafnis, Bones represents death and rebirth – a research of the soul and the resilient self, engaging with the body, and the trauma it has endured, to create something more than the sum of its history. Though these twelve performers may not share the same stories of resilience, Bones aims to depict the truth of equality – digging deeper into our wild, intuitive nature, finding that in the end, humanity shares the same matter.
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.
