A BANDALOOP performance begins with someone looking up.
A sidewalk. A plaza. A wall.
A crowd gathers, not necessarily looking for dance, finding synergy in our daily migrations.
The allure of the unexpected, the liminal, it stops us in our tracks. BANDALOOP interrupts the normal pattern and offers something new, something unforgettable.
This year, more than 30,000 people experienced BANDALOOP's work around the world.
From West Oakland, to the international stage, to your daily phone scroll, we bring public art to places where people already are and invite audiences into moments of wonder, connection, and possibility.
That's part of what makes BANDALOOP different.
We don't wait for you to enter a theater.
We bring the theater to you.
As BANDALOOP enters its 35th year, we're building the next chapter of this work and we need your help keeping it thriving, accessible and achievable.

Your contribution matters today more than ever. The way you stop, look up, and share your awe with us is central.
Thank you for what you have always done, helping us bring dance to new audiences, new places, and new possibilities.
With endless gratitude, Thomas Cavanagh
