As we celebrate our 40th year, JGPG is proud to announce the GUSH Dance Festival 2026. For this fourth iteration of the festival, Joe Goode gathers long-time artistic collaborators whose creative relationships span more than three decades.
The festival features a reimagining of Joe Goode and Liz Burritt in Doris in a Dust Bowl (1987), along with works by long-time company members Marit Brook-Kothlow, Melecio Estrella, Damara Vita Ganley, Mo Katzman, Wailana Simcock, Jessica Swanson, and Patricia West. GUSH 2026 asks: What endures? What is carried forward? And how might these relationships support the future of dance in the Bay Area?

Against a dark background with splashing water textures, five vertical portrait panels show dancers in expressive, intimate poses--stretching, wrapped in sheer fabric, arching backward, gesturing mid-thought, and curled inward.
