Scapegoat Garden

Scapegoat Garden is a New England-based creative engine, established by Deborah Goffe in 2002 as a vehicle for ever-evolving practices of dance making as world making that center the transformative power of expressive bodies in relationship to place, collaborative processes, interdisciplinarity and nurtured imagination.
