How might our togetherness help us weather the precarious times we are flying through?Dearest BANDALOOP Supporter, Last month, flying in a gigantic “V”, a flock of about 200 Canada geese sailed over our rehearsal wall at the Breuner Building in Uptown Oakland. Company members gasped in rooftop awe at this huge community of birds expressing an elegant, slowly shifting choreography in the sky. If only the world below functioned as such. For much of this past year, and quite a bit recently, we have been thinking about flocking behaviors. As a company of airborne dancers the flocking essentials of listening, cohesion, cooperation, and mutuality create spatial belonging and allow us to find our way through challenges together. As human beings, these same essentials help us to better understand each other and ultimately co-exist in harmony. Join BANDALOOP this year as a donor and flock with us. Together, we can help each other to weather the precarious times we are flying through. Like the birds, we inspire awe in the world, help people to see things differently, and give beauty back to our community. It is these qualities of our togetherness that leads to our highest vision of BANDALOOP. We ask that this giving season, you consider a donation to BANDALOOP at an amount that is meaningful to you. Your support gives us wings and in this end-of-year campaign your gift will help to lift our scholarship fund. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to triple the fund and support 100 students in vertical dance education regardless of financial abilities. Donate today, give the gift of flight to local learners of all ages, and help us to flock more fully together. Thank you for supporting BANDALOOP!
With Wings Spread Wide,
