We are delighted to invite you to DRESS, an intimate evening in Goodson at the Goat Farm Arts Center for the final process of Rite Works (Rite of Spring) with our community before traveling to Texas at the end of this month to reunite with Maestro Robert Spano in the Bass Center, and introduce our work to the people of Ft. Worth. glo’s new Rite of Spring to Igor Stravinsky’s 1913 score begins at the edge of the forest just as the sun is setting. As the sky transitions to hues of pinks, purples, and clay, our consciousness is constantly reawakened, for perceiving the actuality of each moment.
DRESS is free and public, but you must register.
What is it to be pulled into a ritual? lauri stallings’ choreography works as an expression of the becoming self, and a composition that maps emotional movements with the Ft. Worth Symphony for local children, moving artists Luciana Arias, Zandia Briana, Beatriz Castro, Noëlle Dave’, and Jacqueline Hathaway, Artistic Associate Mary Jane Pennington, and moving artists Laila Rosen, and Nile Ruff. We will see you at DRESS!

People Moves
feel together by moving together
glo
People Moves are a space of experimentation for all people to explore movement as a shapeshifting energetic practice with the aim of feeling together by moving together. You don’t have to be a dancer or athlete to enjoy the experience. The workshops are emphatically noncompetitive and designed for all ages and abilities. Glo hopes each participant will develop lifelong pleasure in dancing any time, anywhere available to them, whether professionally or in their kitchen, or on the sidewalk.
Saturdays, 10:30 AM – noon
February 8, 15, 22
Goodson at the Goat Farm Arts Center
The exercises employ deep listening to your bodily sensations, opening your inner ears so to speak – to your sense of touch, pressure, and temperature; your movement’s direction, timing and quality; the sense of length, width, size, and shape of your limbs, your sense of effort, pulsing, liveliness, spaciousness, and more. Over and over, you are guided to sense the specific, and then brought back to feel yourself, newly, as a whole. How do we stay in the spaciousness of our permeability and possibility? How is the act of becoming a kind of ongoing choreography that is constantly loosening our perceptions, and time? People Moves is a place for a human to live and be in, exploring autonomously as a community, flush with living textures like curiosity, observations, emotions, questions, inner dialogues, eruptions, pleasures, and all the lovely, messy stuff we bring into our full embodied presence. People Moves are centered around the idea of being together to move in the moment and learn about yourself while exploring the most fundamental way you have of being in the world – through your actions.
These workshops are a sharing of research connected to the practice of glo founder social practice choreographer lauri stallings amidst offerings of reimagination. stallings tends to focus on warmth as a material for creative and spiritual energy that art can prompt in society.
Most of the workshops will be held inside Goodson 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 light, noting the ways in which it interplays with the textures and atmospheres of the space.
The workshops are pay what you can. Workshops are free to Goat Farm residents.

HEIRLOOM SEED PACKETS: THE BLOOMING CITY: PALMETTO, GEORGIA
2025-02-14 08:00 - 17:00
The Blooming City officially launches again! As we continue bending into 2025, we’re reflecting on an incredible first year generating a new art project with the beautiful, beautiful Palmetto community – a year of collaboration, creativity, and growth. Thank you to all the inspiring fellow artists and community leaders who made project space for art, activism, and relations.
HEIRLOOM SEED PACKETS: We’re excited to announce glo’s 1st generation free seeds collected from last year’s wildflower prairies will be distributed at Palmetto City Hall, 509 Toombs Street, for Valentine’s Day, this Friday, 10 AM – 5 PM. Packets available at the walk-up counter, or drive -in! Seeds are open pollinated, hardy, incredibly low maintenance, and thrive in South Fulton County, delighting every gardener! Our seed packets feel like treasures in the palm of your hand. Like artists, seeds bring us beauty, meaning and joy. These seed packets create a greater context for the seeds inside each pack, and The Blooming City year 2!
For this year’s The Blooming City, we’re amplifying “compositing”: the folds, the rhythms, the warmth that form the basis of our interconnectedness within a complex, multispecies world. From the labors of movement, to the murmurs of history, composting shapes our understanding of humanities, environment, and the transformation we seek today.
The Blooming City 2024 lays the foundation. 2025 is all about expanding our attention, and possibilities for transformation.

Making Kin: OPENING in the shell of Historic St Mark
2025-03-06 18:30 - 20:00
Making Kin is made from an alchemy of bodies, voices, plants, and live sound to conjure worlds that are, like ourselves, alive and forever becoming. The public art work is an invitation to raise questions about the complexities and opportunities of an earthly site-specificity using sculptural performance and the live moment to map our social and bodily reality as a radical unfolding world.

Named for Donna Haraway’s 2016 book Making Kin in the Chthulucene, earth (chthulu) new kind (cene) is the act of not being able to think of ourselves as disconnected from the rest of life on earth. Also referred to as staying with the trouble (as used by civil rights leader John Lewis), this theory envelops the age that’s defined by a future world based on othering and belonging. Making Kin is led by East Point vocalist Monique Osorio, Palmetto – based social practice choreographer lauri stallings, and West End – based musician Kebbi Williams.
No reservations required.
