Manifest your world:
Practice Tools for Tender Action
Calling Georgia students and people Movers interested in creatively engaging with movement and sounds and their potential to shape the new world! This summer, glo will summon (or convene) our LAB studies in person and virtually for 2 weeks from July 6-17 for students and people across Georgia. LAB studies is our platform’s longest running program, until the pandemic paused it.
LAB studies program consists of two initiatives in equal parts:
Pedagogy of Hope students will work in person and virtually alongside glo Founder, PLAY Lead, moving artists, artist-educators, and interdisciplinary collaborators, engaging in hands-on processes that focus on the intersection of social services, movement, and care. This year’s Movement-Music Curriculum responds to several frameworks for culturally sustaining pedagogy, including respecting youth as holistic human beings as well as developing critical consciousness and addressing intersectionality, dynamics of power, and solidarity with artists. We will be bending into POH a number of exciting new choreography tools, and will encourage youth-led collaborative sessions and youth-organized discussions for young artists to practice. Not only is Pedagogy of Hope entirely free for selected students, all meals and supplies will be provided over the two week program.
People Movement SHOPS are for folk who love to move, and folk who wish to love to move. SHOPS are open to any person no matter their age, gender, size, or athletic or performance experience. Prompts include physical and poetic assignments that you can engage at your own pace. There is also space to share insights and celebrate the insights of other folk on the journey.
Along with building a daily dance and music vocabulary, all LAB participants will be immersed in aspects of glo’s MAPPING practice, for the creation and distribution of original Pocket Maps of Hope.

2021-07-06 - 2021-07-17 | Atlanta Symphony Hall, 1280 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA, 30309, United States
We are delighted to return to our LAB following a pause in 2020.
Thinking critically means thinking which perceives reality as process, as transformation–thinking which does not separate itself from action. . .the important thing is the continuing transformation of reality.
— Paulo Freire
LAB Studies: Pedagogy of Hope
Summer session: July 5-17, 2021
Winter session: Jan 3-15, 2022

glo invites you into Pedagogy of Hope, our LAB studies education program that directly invests in teaching and learning movement and music to Georgia Indigenous, Black, Brown, and marginalized young artists. Movement-music curricular tools of glo’s LAB studies respond to several frameworks for culturally sustaining pedagogy, including respecting youth as holistic human beings as well as developing critical consciousness and addressing intersectionality, dynamics of power, privilege, oppression, and solidarity with artists. Along with a daily dance and music vocabulary, participants will be immersed in aspects of glo’s mapping practice, for the creation and distribution of original Pocket Maps of Hope.

Note-taking
Monday March 29th, 8p-8:15p virtual gathering
Writing and Praxis lead curator Candice Thompson offers a series of open-ended writing experiments to forge deeper connections with our bodies and a reconnection with each other. Acknowledging the maxim that writing is simply re-writing, we begin with the seed action of putting pencil to paper: note-taking. Thompson will guide through a series of exercises that are task-based and interrogative, allowing opportunities for both short and longer explorations, circling themes of desire, distance, gap spaces, joints, slowing down, adaptability, and resilience. This note-taking will function as a tandem conversation for the embodied practices of this initiative and will allow participants another portal from which we might listen to images and embark together.
Note-taking experiments will be emailed on Sunday evenings throughout the initiative. The series will culminate in a 15-minute virtual gathering on the fourth Monday at 8 p.m.
From the (silent) Touch is a live-stream guide for us to explore the pasts and the futures of Touch., from March 2-April 2, 2021.
