Dear BANDALOOP Friends,

This Giving Tuesday, we give you a beautiful reminder of BANDALOOP's purpose and impact via this short film created in collaboration with visual storyteller Nino Fernandez. An outcome of the opening of BANDALOOP Studios, it brings you inside the culture of care we are creating together.

Join our spirit of generosity with a donation and amplify the awe, joy, and freedom that is uniquely vertical dance. Your gift supports our innovation and our community in co-creation of the beauty, safety, and belonging intrinsic to our 30+ years of success.
Fly with us.

Now is the time to create beauty, take care of each other, and stretch our ideas of what is possible - in ourselves, our communities, and our environment. Thank you for being a partner in the growth of BANDALOOP and our collective good. 

To beauty - in gratitude,

Melecio Estrella

Thank you for your support of Flyaway Productions!
Art as Transformation
Dear friend of Flyaway Productions,

It’s Giving Tuesday and I know you’re receiving hundreds of emails—so I’ll keep this brief.

Flyaway Commits. We embody a long-term commitment to gender justice and radical change. This is the strength we are bringing into 2025. In this horrific new political climate, we believe in hyper-local art-as-activism even more.

Our 2025 production, DOWN ON THE CORNER, will combine prison systems change with gender justice. Throughout December, we will share more about DOWN ON with you and invite you to join the work.

Today, I want to share the history of the building where DOWN ON THE CORNER will take flight:

In the heart of the Tenderloin, at the intersection of Turk and Taylor, is a building with a long history. 111 Taylor was where the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria Riot broke out in which trans women fought against violent police harassment in the Tenderloin (three years before the Stonewall riots!). Today, the building is owned and operated by GEO Group—a company that profits from private prisons.

DOWN ON THE CORNER will surround this landmark building with dance, music, projections, and a vision of forward-thinking liberation as part of a strategic movement to transform the building from a carceral stronghold into a community space that honors the Transgender Cultural District's history of resistance and resilience.
Donate to Support Our Work
Let’s transform this corner together!
YOUR DONATION SUPPORTS:
  • $300 pays for one Petzl descender device, carabiners, and swivels for one dancer
  • $350 pays for the cost of 1 dancer rehearsing on a fire escape for a week
  • $550 pays for 10 hours of rigging from one of the buildings at Turk and Taylor
  • $1000 contributes to artist fees for artistic collaborators
In solidarity,
Check out excerpts of Ode to Jane, which premiered in October 2024.

Let's Celebrate Zaccho's

Youth Performing Arts Program (YPAP)

Zaccho's award-winning Youth Performing Arts Program (YPAP) is 35 years old and going strong!


More than 6,600 Bayview Hunters Point students have participated in our free youth programs. 


Students learn aerial and contemporary dance, physical training, theater, and research on topics about the Black experience (i.e. the history of Soul Music, the history of Hip Hop, health and nutrition, environmental justice, and voting rights).  


For 35 years, Zaccho's commitment to this work has not waned. We ask that you help us reach our $50,000 goal to continue providing free arts programming to the young people of San Francisco’s Bayview Hunters Point. 


Your support for YPAP is a direct investment in the lives of BVHP youth.


Please support our mission to ensure that every child in our community has access to the transformative power of dance.


  • To develop Courage.


  • To use their voice and allow themselves to be Heard.


  • To allow themselves to be Seen.


  • To access the tools to be Present in Themselves and the world. 


Thank you, 

Joanna Haigood

Founder and Artistic Director
