Description
When We Fall Apart continues to delight the San Francisco dance and arts community. Get your tickets now, this hour-long tour de force of dance, music and story is not to be missed!"…[Joe] Goode is in peak form" - Allan Ulrich, SF Chronicle
"Joe Goode is truly a great artist...this greatness comes from the generosity of spirit he brings to every one of his creations -- and from his ability to make fun." - Mark Taylor, KQED
"Goode’s ability to shed skins with but a few props kept me gasping and laughing at the same time." - Rita Felciano, SF Bay Guardian
Has there ever been a moment when it all fell apart?
When everything was shattered, dismantled, destroyed?
Do the effects of that time (when things fell apart) still linger?
Z Space presents Joe Goode Performance Group in the world premiere of When We Fall Apart,a dance theater work that examines the intricate and fragile relationship between house and body, and the determination and resilience of the human spirit. Life (and the body that contains it) is impermanent and - like everything - eventually falls apart. Goode explores the motivations that keep us building, even as life might collapse around us, by weaving the real life stories of audience & community members into the work itself. Architect and collaborator Cass Calder Smith provides a visual “house of art,” constructed to collapse, re-shape, and illuminate the songs, stories, and movement that take place within. Featuring original music composed and performed live by Ben Juodvalkis of the band Battlehooch. Presented and commissioned by Z Space.
When We Fall Apart opened to a sold out weekend and rave reviews from Allan Ulrich at the SF Chronicle, read the article here!
