City Waltz, Holy Waltz
2026-06-19 - 2026-06-26
city waltz, holy waltz is a magical experience rooted in the here and now that transforms public sidewalks into a stage and uses choreographed movements that have a poetic, romantic quality for creating a space where the public might feel the absence of others, turning the art into a reflective, emotional experience. Choreographer lauri stallings believes a dance can be a place without limits. This is the fertile ground from which city waltz / holy waltz has grown, a 120 – minute choreographed migration that uses waltz as a tool to explore global themes, and metamorphosis. Where six glo moving artists: Beatriz Cortez, Zandia Covington, Noëlle Dave’, Ashley Ianna Daye, Marcelle Gressier, and Mary Jane Pennington – in long floral gowns commit to traverse, linger, and interact across ​our city to explore the “gravitational pull” of human interaction, and how people move through transitions and celebration, creating a sense of being suspended in a time somewhere in-between hope and despair.
OPENING Friday June 19 through Friday, June 26, daily at 6 PM – 8 PM | We’re pleased to invite you to join us at 6 landmark locations for a magical experience. “True desire as a radical, expansive urge for the “outside.” We look forward to being with you soon, and glo is deeply grateful to all of our hosts and creative partners, and their teams, and special folk, who are making this project possible.

Movement Workshops with glo hosted by XCel
2026-06-22 10:00 - 12:00
We’re excited to welcome moving artists and performers into a new edition of the glo // lauri stallings workshops, hosted for the first time by XCel. This two – day immersive contemporary experience offers a deep encounter with lauri stallings’ choreographies and creative processes, guided by stallings and long-time glo moving artists.
Workshops begin with physical warm-up and embodied mapping, followed by working on repertory where participants learn and break down excerpts from lauri stallings choreographies, and to try them out for oneself, including this Summer’s city waltz, holy waltz (2026), a processional public art work.
Each session will unfold in its own way, offering space to research, discover, and enjoy the work. Discussions, and the serving of kombucha will complement the workshop.
Who should attend: pre-professional and professional dancers, and also for people with no experience in dance who wish to move – aged 16 and above.

Open Rehearsal: Making Kin
2026-07-18 15:00 - 17:00
As summer settles in, join us in Goodson at the Goat Farm on Saturday, July 18 at 3 PM for attunement scores and collectives.

Making Kin is a commissioned series of public art works opening this August through October, inviting us to observe how we resemble, influence, and attune to one-another. Named for Donna Haraway’s 2016 book Making Kin in the Chthulucene, earth (chthulu) and new kind (cene) is the act of not being able to think of ourselves as disconnected from the rest of life on earth. It’s also referred to as “staying with the trouble,” as used by Georgia warrior John Lewis.
Saturday, July 18 at 3 PM at the Goat Farm we’re pleased to to invite you to an open rehearsal in collaboration with our creative partners Monique Osorio and Kebbi Williams, each offering distinct instincts and research as sites to extend from the past to create a portal to new embodied perspectives.

Save the dates, more details coming soon. We look forward to being present together.

PROJECT LAUNCH: Amor de Lonh
2026-09-11 - 2026-09-20
Please join us this Fall beginning Friday, September 11 through Sunday, September 20, 2026 for the project launch of Amor De Lonh in the Dordogne Valley, southern France.
Amor De Lonh (“love from afar”) is a two-year commissioned live art work by Association Patrimoine et Culture de Mayrinhac Lentour and Marais de Bonnefont Marsh Reserve created in – situ for various historic culture sites in Southwest France’s Dordogne Valley.
American choreographer lauri stallings and the Accroc’coeur choir led by Lola Calvet, alongside a team of international dancers and musicians, poets and visual artists will interact with minimalist site-specific installations developed in collaboration with Artzimu*t association Association, Preservation of Taillefer Castle, and the Friends of William Merwin Association. Conceived as an evolving, episodic residency, Amor de Lonh follows insights of the 12th – century French troubadour Bernart de Ventadour, his dansa, or balada (“dance songs”), and Ventadour’s profound influence over American poet W.S. Merwin on the central importance of themes of distance: the distance between the present and the past, the lover and the beloved, and one place and another. Themes of distance deeply resonated with Merwin and can also be felt in stallings’ choreographic work, where distance is a metaphor for a lost past, environmental degradation, and the challenge of connecting across time and space through our bodies.
