Writing From The Body:
From Gesture to Language

This half day workshop led by Joe Goode is designed to help participants (dancers, artists, and curious souls) create deeply felt narrative material inspired by emotional impulses found in everyday life: a simple gesture, a sound or bodily configuration. You will learn how to take simple steps toward material that is authentic and original. Joe refined his unique teaching style over twenty-five years of creating performative material for his own award winning ensemble, Joe Goode Performance Group.
