Schwimley Little Theater on Allston @ MLK

This is an unusual student dance concert in that the class has worked
on three longer-format pieces, each one based on a theme. We structure
this class to mimic the experience of being part of a professional
dance company, with Bay Area dance artists setting work on the
student-dancers.
This year we are especially honored to be working with Joe Goode
Performance Group, one of the premiere modern dance companies in the
Bay.
Please see below for more info on Joe Goode.

MORE INFO ON OUR SPECIAL GUEST ARTIST:
Joe Goode is a choreographer, writer, and director and director whose
first concern as an artist is to provide a "deeply felt, profoundly
human experience" in the theater. He is widely known as an innovator
in the field of dance for his willingness to collide movement with
spoken word, song, and visual imagery. Goode's
performance-installation works have been commissioned by the Fowler
Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles, Krannert Art Museum, the
Capp Street Project, the M.H. de Young Museum, and Yerba Buena Center
for the Arts. His dance theater work has been commissioned by
Pennsylvania Ballet, Zenon Dance Company, Dance Alloy Theater, and
AXIS Dance Company, among others. 

The Joe Goode Performance Group, formed in 1986, tours regularly
throughout the U.S., and has toured internationally to Canada, Europe,
South America, Africa, and the Middle East. Joe Goode is known as a
master teacher; his summer workshops in "felt performance" attract
participants from around the world, and the company's teaching
residencies on tour are hugely popular. He is a member of the faculty
of the University of California, Berkeley in the department of
Theater, Dance and Performance Studies. 

Joe Goode has been named a John Simon Guggenheim Fellow for 2007-2008.
He is one of only five choreographers awarded the prestigious
Fellowship this year. Goode has also received fellowships from the
National Endowment for the Arts, the California Arts Council, and the
James Irvine Foundation.
Goode and his work have been recognized with awards for excellence by
the American Council on the Arts, the Business Arts Council/San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce, the "Heritage" award from the
California Dance Educators Association, a New York Dance and
Performance Award ("Bessie"), and Isadora Duncan Dance Awards
("Izzies").
