Goat Island was a collaborative performance group based in Chicago, Illinois and founded in 1987.
[1] They toured internationally and made nine performance works before disbanding.
[2] In 2006 they announced The Lastmaker (2007) would be the last work that they would create as a company, and the final performances were held at Swain Hall, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in February 2009.
In 2019, the Chicago Cultural Center hosted a cross disciplinary retrospective: goat island archive – we have discovered the performance by making it.
[4] The event included an exhibition, archives, a performance series, and symposia.
