BANDALOOP

 

BANDALOOP's Quest for Awe From the Salish Sea to St. Paul's Cathedral Life has been incredibly full at BANDALOOP. Here at home in West Oakland, we're entering the last phase of construction for the newly expanded BANDALOOP Studiosopening this November. Very soon we will be able to reveal images as we begin to invite our community for sneak peak. We also recently held an audition for the new BANDALOOP Training Group cohort, and were amazed to receive over 50 applications - the most we've ever had in our history.  This is a sign of great things to come with the new Studios: expanded education and training programs, and 8,000 sq ft of dance floors & walls! (YES, we are only space fully rigged for vertical dance in the Bay Area!) Meanwhile the company has been creating and rehearsing for the upcoming tour. Over the next month, we will be traveling to locations that truly express our passion for activating vertical spaces large and small. From a new cultural center in Port Angeles overlooking the Salish Sea, to a world class art gallery in Healdsburg, Sonoma, to Sir Christopher Wren's 300 year-old Saint Paul's Cathedral in London, our global quest for awe and joy continues!  Upcoming Performances July 29, 2023 Field Arts & Events Hall Grand Opening Port Angeles, WA August 5, 2023 The 222 Gala for the Arts Healdsburg, CA August 18, 2023 Fringe Fest & Subcircle Biddeford, ME August 31, September 1 & 2, 2023 Greenwich+Docklands International Festival & City of London St Paul’s Cathedral London, United Kingdom Registration For Fall 2023 Is Open! Workshops for Youth & Adults Available At our newly expanded BANDALOOP Studios in West Oakland, CA, we welcome learners of all ages, genders, and movement backgrounds.
