Dance Professor Deb Goffe Joins New England Foundation of the Arts’ Regional Dance Development Initiative Cohort

Assistant Professor of Modern and Contemporary Dance Deborah Goffe was named one of twelve cohort members to join the New England Foundation of the Arts Regional Dance Development Initiative, New England Now.

The Regional Dance Development Initiative (RDDI) is a program of the National Dance Project (NDP). The purpose of RDDI is to increase the scope, visibility, and viability of dance activity in and across regions in the United States.

Goffe is a performer, dance maker, dance educator, performance curator, and video artist, as well as the founder of Scapegoat Garden, a Hartford-based collaborative dance theater company. Goffe currently teaches at Hampshire College and within the Five College Dance Department.

Goffe was also recently named as a member of Hampshire College’s first cohort of Ethics and the Common Good faculty fellows. The fellowship program supports the scholarship, art, and teaching of faculty of color whose work focuses on ethics and the common good broadly construed. Each fellow is engaged in scholarship and artistic work that is vital to the intellectual and creative community of Hampshire College.
