Joe Goode
Joe Goode is a choreographer, writer, and director whose first concern as an artist is to provide a "deeply felt, profoundly human experience" in the theatre. 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. His play Body Familiar, commissioned by the Magic Theatre in 2003, was met with critical acclaim. In 2006 he directed the opera Transformations for the San Francisco Opera Center. In 2007 he was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship.
Mr. 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 are hugely popular. He is a member of the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley in the department of Theater, Dance & Performance Studies. He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the California Arts Council, and the James Irvine Foundation. Mr. 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, the New York Dance and Performance Award (Bessie), and Isadora Duncan Dance Awards (Izzies).
