In 1990, Amelia Rudolph's realization about dancing on cliffs sparked the creation of Bandaloop, a vertical dance company that interweaves contemporary dance techniques with climbing methods and technology. Inspired by her background in dance and climbing, Rudolph created performances that showcase the ethereal qualities of dance on unexpected vertical surfaces, such as rock faces. Bandaloop aims to celebrate nature's beauty and strength, culminating in their Broadway debut in the musical Redwood, which showcases their unique artistic vision to a broader audience.
Amelia Rudolph's mountaintop epiphany led to the creation of Bandaloop, a dance company that combines contemporary dance with climbing techniques and technology to perform in unique vertical spaces.
Rudolph's experiences in dance and climbing converged when she wondered about performing on cliffs, igniting an exploration of dance in nature that celebrates both power and vulnerability.
We’ve taken dance's ethereal qualities to extremes with Bandaloop, allowing us to perform on surfaces like the rock face of El Capitan, presenting a fusion of art and adventure.
With Broadway's Redwood, we bring Bandaloop's unique vertical dance style to a new audience, showcasing the intersection of nature, dance, and technology in an exciting and powerful way.
