gloATL is a collaborative platform of contemporary artists. The forum incubates fresh, original work  through live performance, public intervention, and a choreographic lab.  The work often reflects a genuine approach toward negotiating with space, objects and people in order for a dynamic of roaming to occur.  Part choreography and part interactive art installation, it literally  bridges the gap between artist and audience, to explore the phenomena of reception, intention, and interpretation.  The choreographic language- a breadth of fresh movement extracting classical elements with the complexity and groove of today’s rhythmic culture, creates emotional, physical and entertaining bridges through the universality of gesture and essence of being.  Original works include:    Rapt, amidst architect Renzo Piano’s Woodruff Arts Center Campus, pour, in Atlanta’s Castleberry Hill District, the Plum Line, Brooklyn’s Wave Rising Festival, Crea in Richard Meier’s atrium of the High Museum, Bloom, in Lenox Square, and Halo’, a full evening commissioned work at NYC’s Duo Theatre.

The term glo alludes to the dutch meaning of a group of individuals who congregate to witness a unique event..  Hidden treasures that lead to

communal, social exchange.  Malleability and possibility inherent in all

languages.  A shared sense of culture, shared sense of self.  That we are

all more alike than different.  That each individual has a singularly unique voice, and that most of us are capable of more than we think we can achieve.  Common values that are the seeds of art in any society, across the globe.  As in ATL...gloATL’s home of Atlanta.

This is the inaugural season of gloATL.
