Summary:

Physical Theater: The Joe Goode Performance Group This two volume program features The Joe Goode Performance Group, a San Francisco based company that offers exciting dance theater that integrates storytelling, music, voice and deeply physical dancing. Part 1 features a performance of the 1996 work "Maverick Strain" (excerpts) recorded at the Joyce Theater in New York in 2009. "Maverick Strain" offers a deconstruction of Arthur Miller's screenplay for the film The Misfits, explores themes of cowboy individualism and outsider identity and features original music by Beth Custer. Excerpts from a talk with Joe Goode are also included on the disc. Part 2 features a complete performance of Goode's "Wonderboy" (2008), a remarkable performance that incorporates Basil Twist's magical puppetry into Joe Goode Performance Group's innovative storytelling through dance, text and song. The work offers an unexpected tale of a peculiar hero isolated by his gift of sensitivity and an intuitive knack to see and perceive and even to heal with his gentle demeanor. "Wonderboy" was also recorded at New York's Joyce Theater in 2009 and also features original music by Carla Kihlstedt and Matthias Bossi. Excerpts from a talk with Joe Goode are also included in part 2.
