BANDALOOP

BANDALOOP honors nature, community, and the human spirit through perspective-bending, vertical dance. Using the Momentary Tower as a dance floor on its side, BANDALOOP creates a new and original performance sited for the Momentary building with visuals by creative technologist Osman Koç.

A pioneer in vertical performance, BANDALOOP seamlessly weaves dynamic physicality, intricate choreography, and climbing technology to turn the dance floor on its side. BANDALOOP’s site-reactive work has been presented worldwide in theaters and museums, on skyscrapers, bridges, billboards, and historical sites, in atriums and convention halls, in nature on cliffs, and on screen.

These performances are part of TIME BEING, our inaugural festival of performance taking place during opening weekend.
