Care Procession: Little Amal
2023-10-13 11:00 - 12:00 UTC
Little Amal, a giant puppet representing a young Syrian girl and through her all the displaced children in the world. Her remarkable gifts in The Walk seek to provide an artistic answer to our troubled times: a cultural odyssey that transcends borders, politics, language.
Please join us for glo’s Care Procession across the Pettus Bridge with the community of Selma, Alabama, and Little Amal. Our language of movement lives in the richness of everyday discourse and humanity, and the ways that people talk about themselves, and what matters to them. One very good way to do this is to listen to stories, then move with them.

In Spring 2020, glo and the Dewberry Foundation transformed Midtown Atlanta’s dormant lot into a 2.5 acre wildflower prairie.The glo platform’s approach to Land Art is the same as our choreographic thinking- a hybridity of forms emphasizing interconnectedness, solidarity networks, and art making as a care system.

Ongoing Actions, a series of drafted movements that translate the rhythms of researching old St. Mark AME Church into formations of live sculpture, movement choirs and complex patterns which flow, act, move, spiral, and murmur. On the ideas that things have life inside them, Ongoing Actions merges elements of the natural world with the deeply spiritual, inviting us to participate in the truth of the life that is within things.

People Movement SHOP at the High
2024-04-17 10:00 - 12:00
People Movement Shops
feel together by moving together
People Movement Shops are a space of experimentation where we aim to feel together by moving together. We will delve into small and big acts, available to us so much, to explore textures and sounds in the environment of the space , and most importantly deeper connections between us. What do you carry that carries you? How do we tap into our bodies’ ability to generate love and understanding? With these ephemeral actions, the participants collectively built a new environment—an ideal city generated from the movement of participants.
3rd Wednesdays of the month beginning April 17
10am-noon
High Museum of Art
free and public to all
Most of the workshops will be held inside the museum that is surrounded by various sculptures and trees, allowing for different qualities of light to filter into the environment as the workshop progresses. Workshops will be informed often by the light, noting the ways in which it interplays with the textures and atmospheres of the space.
These workshops are a sharing of systems which inform glo platforms recent live art/ works as well as research connected to the practice of glo founder social practice choreographer lauri stallings amidst offerings of reimagination. stallings tends to focus on “mapping,” referring to our constantly unfolding world that resists finality.
Come with pleasure and excitement in a space built for free experimentation and joyous movement research!
Shops are for everyone no previous experience required/ the shops are free.

Warm. Sustainment. Entanglement. Fete Vignettes are a series of Manifestation Gatherings inviting a stunning group of people into conversation, stargazing, and homeplace around Georgia chef Marie Nygren’s celebrated practice about savor.
More about The Blooming City
Fete Vignettes are an initiative of The Blooming City, a new city-wide project in Palmetto Georgia’s community that is being transformed through the activation of “in-between” places and sites dedicated to how art shapes the community, environment, and makes each of us better. In addition to providing opportunities for hybrid art making, the restoration of the community of Palmetto reflects choreographer lauri stallings and glo’s commitment to bridging the gap between art and life; work characterized by connection and deeply researched inter-disciplinary histories. A diverse set of initiatives—land art, parlor conversations, art education, live art, and installations, and Fete—are choreographed as a field of creative openings that will subtly reveal Palmetto as a blooming city all the time.

On the occasion of the Goat Farm Arts Center’s opening of its new spaces, glo joins the Goat Farm to reach across passage of time and place, a lot of people and a lot of animals, to form a one-time experience of touch, expanded consciousness, and memory with a project sited in both locations – the old and the new. This Way Home is a luminous procession by Pablo Gnecco and Lauri stallings that traces a historical representation of the Goat Farm, exploring the topography of its forms, viscera, and mapping us through past/now/being reverberations to create a care procession with a palpable sense of kinship and active ideas of the future.
