Tom Gold Dance To Premiere APPARATUS HOMINUS At Turnpark Art Space
By: Julie Musbach Jul. 11, 2018
Returning to the Berkshires for the fourth consecutive summer, Tom Gold Dance will give the World Premiere of Company Founder and Director Tom Gold's Apparatus Hominus, Friday, July 27 with an encore presentation Saturday, July 28 at TurnPark Art Space, a new cultural, recreational, and exhibition space on the site of a former lime quarry in West Stockbridge, Massachusetts. These performances will be held outdoors in the Park's stone amphitheater.
Inspired by the Park's natural landscape and unique sculptural art, which includes site-specific installations by Gene Montez Flores, Nikolai Silis, and Konstantin Simun, Apparatus Hominus, for four dancers, is set to selections from Nico Muhly's Drones and his soundtrack to the 2013 film Kill Your Darlings. Apparatus Hominus draws its name, in part, from the many inventive objects of metal found across the Park's 16 acres.
Currently scheduled to perform Apparatus Hominus are Tiffany Mori, Shoshana Rosenfield, Mary Elizabeth Sell, and James Shee, collectively representing New York City Ballet, the National Ballet of Canada and St. Louis Ballet. Artists are subject to change.
