Tom Gold Dance Returns To Berkshires With New Work

Tom Gold Dance will return to the Berkshires for the fourth consecutive summer with a pair of performances, Friday, July 27 and Saturday, July 28 at TurnPark Art Space, a new cultural, recreational, and exhibition space spread over 16 acres of a former lime quarry in West Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Featuring artists of New York City Ballet, the St. Louis Ballet, and more, the Company will present a new work by Tom Gold Dance Founder and Director Tom Gold in the Park's outdoor amphitheater.

"We are thrilled to go back to the Berkshires to create a program inspired by the incredible sculpture art and natural setting of TurnPark," says Gold. "Some of the Company's most memorable events have been site-specific, including at the Guggenheim Museum in New York and Fondazione Burri in Città di Castello, Italy. Our appearance at Turn Park builds on this narrative."

"During the Company's 10th anniversary this year," adds Executive Director Alexander Zaretsky, "we are both expanding our performance calendar and facilitating the ongoing development of new work. We welcome this chance to reconnect with our past audiences and make new friends in the Berkshires, while also showcasing the Company's artistic progress."

Specific work and other details to be announced in the coming weeks.
