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.
As their final project, they created a film based on The Lastmaker, published under the title A Last, A Quartet a collection of films,[3] which also contained previous films made by Goat Island.
