Description: Gary Gordon’s reputation has assured him legendary status in South African dance, physical theatre and choreography. He has been called the ‘father of Physical Theatre’ (Zingi Mkefa: BASA Newsflash Podcast: 7 March 2010 Interview), the ‘guru of the innovative’ (Claire Bezuidenhout, Independent On Saturday) and the ‘doyen of physical theatre training and stage creation in South Africa’ (Guy Willoughby, Mail and Guardian). He has the reputation of having nurtured and trained top theatre makers and choreographic innovators in the country. The country’s most prominent dance critic, Ms Adrienne Sichel, has called the choreographic and theatrical work produced by Gordon’s First Physical Theatre Company a ‘living South African artistic heritage in the truest sense’ (The Star: Tonight: 11 February 2005).
