Traveling Light

A performance installation at San Francisco's Old Mint Building

Joe Goode Performance Group: Traveling Light

Joe Goode Performance Group presents an astounding dance theater performance installation for our eco-conscious era. Staged in the haunting, decadent beauty of the historic San Francisco Mint, Traveling Light takes the audience on a journey through the vaults and chambers of the oldest stone building in San Francisco.

With the international dialogue increasingly turning to eco-consciousness, award winning director/choreographer Joe Goode examines our relationship to excess. As we attempt to "travel light" into the future, what do we take with us, and what must we leave behind? What is the role of fossil fuels, of synthetic materials, indeed of personal possessions? What does it mean to be "natural" and do we still have that capacity in this overtly technological society?

Joe Goode Performance Group is legendary for creating fresh, engaging dance theater. Experience their unique convergence of dance, language, irony and reflection. With production and lighting design by Jack Carpenter, music and sonic landscape by
Jay Cloidt.
