A new gloATL site-specific chamber piece created by Lauri Stallings in collaboration with the Alliance Theatre, Tom Sherwood of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the musical ensemble Sonic Generator, Georgia Tech’s contemporary music ensemble-in-residence.
Lauri Stallings has again assembled a group of creative collaborators to produce a one of its kind, site-specific evening of chamber works in the High Museum of Art. On December 10, dance, visual art, and music will blur to create crea. Stallings’s gloATL is known for its keen sense of innovation and invention.
crea will be the second site-specific piece to premiere on the Woodruff campus. The first, rapt, was described by the AJC as “A hipster ballet company fusing classically modern dance with the funky groove of Outkast…. rapt felt like a cultural watershed moment for Atlanta.” The Woodruff sees the new piece as a way to fuse all the art forms it represents into one production – visual arts, music, and theatre. Embracing the idea of using the human body as an instrument and blending influences and performances by the Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and High Museum of Art, crea promises to be a more intimately delicate piece than gloATL has performed before.
VIP tickets include admission to the High Museum anytime after 4:00 on December 10th to experience the exhibit Leonardo Da Vinci: Hand of the Genius prior to the performance; the crea performance; and a reception with the artists after the performance.
