DRESS | Friday, January 24, 2025 | 6:30 PM
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!

2024-06-23 19:00 - 21:00
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.

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.

People Movement Shops at the High
2024-05-15 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.
