BANDALOOP: Studio to Big Wall

Designed for the intermediate/advanced vertical dancer who is ready to take their dancing to the next level. This workshop will start in the studio, honing vertical dance techniques and learning phrase work. We will cultivate a foundation of shared movement skills, embodied awareness, trust, and collaboration that will support the transition from the studio to an outdoor wall.

Supported by BANDALOOP teaching artists and riggers, students will bring their safety awareness and full bodied dynamic dancing to outdoor dance walls in Oakland, experiencing rooftop load-ins, big loft and vertical joy. All gear will be supplied.

prerequisite: An intermediate/advanced mover should have a regular movement practice, and have taken one BANDALOOP workshop/series in the past year. Must be able to confidently acknowledge and actively engage in BANDALOOP’s Culture of Safety.

Age 18+
