Other Plans was pleased to welcome Ann Glaviano for a dance residency this spring. Thank you to the many friends that joined us for a dance workshop & ensemble performance, Known Mass No. 6: SPACE. Visit knownmass.com for more information on this ongoing practice and project.
Ann Glaviano is a writer, dance-maker, DJ, and born-and-raised New Orleanian. For more than a decade, Glaviano has run a friendly neighborhood dive-bar dance party called HEATWAVE! spinning dance jams on vinyl from 1957-1974; she has been featured in Elle and nominated by Offbeat as Best DJ in New Orleans. Her prose has appeared in Best American Short Stories, Tin House, and Slate, among other publications. As a dance artist she maintains a wide-ranging practice: she’s danced with the New Orleans Ballet Theatre, executed a lecture/demonstration alongside Deborah Hay, choreographed for Hulu, engaged in incendiary national dance advocacy and institutional protest work with the re:FRAME collective, improvised the “ballerina rap” bit on stage with Hannibal Buress, written on commission for the National Performance Network, and performed in a dystopic durational art installation in Dresden. Glaviano received a BA in English from Louisiana State University and an MFA in Fiction with an interdisciplinary minor concentrating in dance from The Ohio State University.
