The NAT Gala 2026, New York.
Creative direction by Nathan Prince.

Water is life.

I wanted the night to feel less like a programme of separate commissions and more like one living system. The room became the medium: film, sound, performance, light, architecture and bodies all moving through the same world.

For Act I, I worked with Filipe Gomes on a sound piece built from his archive of field recordings. One body of water travelled from mountain stream to river, ocean and back again, woven through gongs, singing bowls, sine-wave harmonies and bowed instruments behaving almost like rain.

The gongs responded directly to Isamu Noguchi’s Sunken Garden at the centre of the room. Water, stone and stillness were already there. We wanted the sound to lean into that meditative quality and make the space itself feel as though it were resonating.

That same thinking became visual too, with a water-cycle diagram evolving through the evening from physical process to feedback, regeneration, memory and return.

Sophie Hunter Studio’s Salt of the Earth filled the room with 24 voices.

DeeJay Two Bears’ What Came Before began life as a planned film screening and became a visceral live dance work with Jon Boogz, ending with an Indigenous prayer carrying the message Water Is Life.

I directed two films for the evening, The Science of Optimism with Thomas Crowther and A Correspondence from the Deep with Dr Sylvia Earle, before the night finally broke open into a Coral Rave, with an opening track built from the actual sounds of coral and Coral Gardeners footage transformed into live visuals.

Thank you to The NAT, Gail Gallie, Amy Bryson, Al MacCuish and Charlotte Clark for trusting us once again, and to Samantha O’Keefe for keeping an extraordinary number of moving parts moving in the same direction.

What began in lockdown became a language.

This was the start, a new way of seeing and hearing orchestral performance as cinema. Colour, movement, sculptural light, and sound together on stage.

Sixty-three shows on, the collaboration still evolves. taken in Royal Festival Hall by @nathan____prince

Five years, sixty-three shows.

It began during lockdown. 𝘐𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 was a cinematic series with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, filmed inside an empty Royal Festival Hall.

Cameras on stage, colour and haze in the air, finding a new intimacy.

The first movement of a collaboration that continues to this day. taken in Royal Festival Hall by @nathan____prince

NEW WORK ✨🌱
.
Nature Returns for THE NAT
.
A living metaphor for growth and interconnection, Nature Returns reimagines proof of impact as a visual poem. Anchored in the idea that we are nature, it regenerates existing material into a carbon neutral work carrying themes of renewal, joy, and nature as a cultural force. Fragments of farming, fishing, fashion, seascapes, and biodiversity form a wider choreography of regeneration. The soundtrack mirrors the pulse of land, sky, and ocean, reflecting energy, fragility, and our shared inhabitation.
.
We worked to an ultra low carbon target and hit just 0.18 tCO₂e, then offset 2 tonnes through Gold Standard projects in Colombia and Panama, more than 10× our footprint, making the films carbon neutral and regenerative.

As we continue our journey to put nature front and centre in culture, we are inspired by those leading the way. Those redefining what it means to be a hero today. Most aren’t flashy. They spend years toiling away working behind the scenes to bend the arc of history toward justice, fairness, prosperity. They speak up. They push through. They make tough decisions. They lay groundwork for all those who might come after them.

To bring this idea to life we commissioned @nathan____prince and the team at @studioprince__ to create a visual poem to honor them and their work. ‘Redefining Heroes’ uses 100% found footage and imagery.

This film honours those leading the way for nature, from global environmental defenders to a new wave of innovators in fashion, art and culture. It reflects on heroism as care, courage and community.
