Choreography, costumes, projection & text: Joe Goode
Joe Goode is widely known as an innovator and a master in the field of dancetheater for his willingness to collide movement with spoken word, song, and visual imagery. His work, created specifically for DAT, is a richly textured and powerful multi-media piece with breathtaking partnering, moving text, and unexpected theatrics, exploring issues of isolation and the desperate search to connect.
"Expressive performances...simple eloquenc...bitterly ironic loneliness when one is not alone..."

through the body...remarkable."
