Joe Goode · Joe Goode Performance Group
A dance-theater work about the 'myth' of stability and how impermanence shows up in lives and bodies, using a house as its central metaphor. Stories gathered from audience members and the public were woven into the text and songs, with a live score blending electronics, piano and banjo.

Press
“Battlehooch keyboardist, Ben Juodvalkis created a brittle, sometimes tinny drumbeat that sounded like something about to crumble, or already distorted and coming apart.”
“Even the music, composed by Ben Juodvalkis and performed by the same with Ryan Huber”
