Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival, in partnership with the Charles W. Eisemann Center, presents BANDALOOP on May 19-20 in an immersive and dynamic approach to activating public space within the Patterson & Associates Performance Row. BANDALOOP will give two performances on Friday, May 19 at 6:30 p.m. and 7:45 p.m., and three performances on Saturday, May 20 at 12:30 p.m., 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. These are intricately choreographed routines in which BANDALOOP uses the Eisemann Center front (south) side and east Performance Drive side as their dance walls.
BANDALOOP celebrates the human spirit, nature and communities through dance that uses climbing technology to expand and challenge what is possible. An innovator of vertical performance, BANDALOOP was founded by Amelia Rudolph and under the artistic direction of Melecio Estrella, the work re-imagines dance, activates public spaces, and inspires wonder and imagination in audiences around the world. BANDALOOP trains dancers and youth at home and on tour and has performed live for literally millions of people. BANDALOOP is based in Oakland, CA, where the company incubates and produces work for its local audiences and for touring performances presented around the globe.
BANDALOOP is funded by The City of Oakland, The National Endowment for The Arts and a diverse set of individual donors who support our work from around the world. Follow on Instagram @BANDALOOPing and find out more info at www.bandaloop.org.
