BANDALOOP

 

We invite you to join us in seeking awe in the everyday.

Jan 2024 - Fresh off their performance at the Joy Awards, BANDALOOP dancers and riggers enjoy a desert sunrise on tour in Saudi Arabia (Thomas Cavanagh). Dear Friends of BANDALOOP, Thank you for making this a landmark year for us! 2024 included: 3 world premieres, 13 tour locations, 20,000 audience members, 500 classes, 320 students, and 500 hours of studio use by local artists. We wowed audiences from Dubai to Alameda, collaborating with artists like Idina Menzel, Tina Landau, Destani Wolf, Room Full of Teeth, and Kevin Farrell to imagine new works and inspire awe. In 2025 we will premiere our next touring work FLOCK, produce a month-long public art project Somewhere to Oakland,  tour nationally and internationally, with dates already on the calendar, and improve our website and digital presence so that we can better keep up with all of you. Be a part of our upcoming chapter with a donation today.
