1000 Forest Gorillas in Kansas

1000 Forest Gorillas in Kansas is a performance piece by Natalie George and Heloise Gold and featuring Ellen Bartel, Jason Phelps, Elaine Dove, Noel Gaulin, Amy Myers, Dallas Tate, and Randi Leigh Turkin, and Tim Mateer.

Using their extensive creative backgrounds (Gold's vast experience as a dancer/choreographer and George's talents as a lighting designer/artist) the two artists explore a shared fascination of movement and light, the evolution of communication, and the curiosity of doing things a 1000 times over. This piece premiered last year and garnered Gold and George a Best Choreography award from the Central Texas Excellence in Theater Awards. The duo decided to retool and remount the production in 2016, but don't worry it still includes all your favorite moments AND the kitchen sink.

Gold was nominated for 3 Austin Critics Table Awards in 2013-2014 and was awarded "Best Short Dance Work" for 'Resonance'. Her show GoldShow/RoseShow (with Julie Nathanielsz) was honored in the Austin Chronicle's The Top 10 Best Dance works for 2013 and 2014. In 2015 Gold was inducted into the Austin Arts Hall of Fame.

George has been honored with awards for best lighting design by the Austin Critics Table and the B. Iden Payne awards. In 2015 George won Best Lighting Deign for her work on the premier of Forest Gorillas. The Austin American-Statesman says, "The play of shadows orchestrated by Natalie George's breathtaking light design is worth the trip in itself."
