Our dear friend Bill Kaelin turned us onto this one. This Friday, July 23 & Saturday, July 24 the Woodruff Arts Center welcomes back gloATL, who will produce a unique, multi-disciplinary work on The Woodruff Arts Center campus. Roem will embrace an ensemble of forms, including dance, music, multi-media and rich theatrical design, for two unforgettable evenings of live performance in a 360 degree setting. Created by gloATL`s award-winning creative team that includes Dancemaker Lauri Stallings, Videographer Adam Larsen, Costume Designer April McCoy and Lighting by Ryan O`Gara, Roem is heavily influenced by the main phenomenon of our time, globalization. This immigration brings about new relations and cultural signs, and the fascination with movement, trajectory and genuine experience. A marriage of chor eography and interactive sculpting, this new creation will literally bridge the gap between artist and audience, reassessing what art is and where it occurs. The production will feature the musical creations of Tom Sherwood of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Sonic Generator, Georgia Tech`s contemporary music ensemble-in-residence.
