Lauri Stallings is the High’s first choreographer in residence. Her ensemble, glo will perform “Supple Means of Connection,” through Sept. 8 at the Cousins galleries on the second level of the High Museum’s Wieland Pavilion.

This is a new way to experience the museum’s collection along with installations in the Cousins gallery. “Choreographed Migrations” and “Movement Choirs” are the fundamental aspects of this installation.

“The beauty of these works is that I get to escape, and the High has provided me the opportunity to come into the museum and study and do weird things like sit on the floor of the gallery for long hours at a time,” said Stallings in response to how she reflects the High’s works of art in her choreography.
