This is the dancer Felipe, from a piece called “Undertaking Harry”, playing a rather provocative sailor….

Continuing with the portraits, this is picture is of a dancer named Marit Brook Kothlow, from a piece called “Deeply There” in which she plays a dog. “Deeply There” is being revived as part of the company’s June performance.

This is a portrait of Liz, as she appeared playing a ghost in the piece “Remembering the Pool at the Best Western”.

Last month I was contacted by the Joe Goode Performance Group. They’re a San Francisco based company that blends dance and theatre in an innovative way. Their 20th anniversary season kicks of this weekend at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and to celebrate, they commissioned six portraits for a special booklet that focuses on memorable characters played by members of the troupe over the past two decades. The booklet is called “Goode People” and will be available to audience members throughout their anniversary performances.

I’m going to post images from the book over the next couple of days on the blog, starting with this portrait of company founder Joe Goode, featured on the booklet cover.

Maybe it will encourage me to actually update this more frequently. And pay more attention to the website, in general. And maybe make some actual new web comics. And have something interactive for people who come by. Etc. Etc. I know — welcome to 2001, Steve.
