LIVE

BANDALOOP at the Momentary
June 1 – 8, 2025 Shows June 7 & 8

Destani is a the lead singer and co-composer alongside Ben Juodvalkis for Bandaloop’s FLOCK.

An innovator of vertical dance, BANDALOOP weaves dynamic physicality, intricate choreography and the art of climbing to turn the dance floor on its side. Since 1991, their indoor & outdoor work has been presented in over 400 locations in theaters and museums, on skyscrapers, bridges, billboards and historical sites, in atriums and convention halls, in nature on cliffs, and on screen. BANDALOOP honors nature, community, and the human spirit by bringing dance to new audiences, activating public and natural spaces, and reimagining what’s possible. Under the artistic direction of Melecio Estrella BANDALOOP delivers expansive public art in vertical spaces. BANDALOOP believes in the power of its perspective-shifting, site-specific art as a means of dialogue between vastly different cultures and people, and as a tool to invite authentic engagement and creative curiosity.

While in residence, BANDALOOP will develop the third work in the LOOM trilogy, FLOCK. They will develop a suite of durational performances placed vertically throughout the Momentary’s campus to be performed in June 2025.

FLOCK is a performance tapestry woven through vertical dance, live music, and story. Inspired by the migrations of birds and people navigating accelerating climate and social crisis, FLOCK is a site-responsive story that brings audiences into sensate relationship with place, and one another. The heart of FLOCK asks communities to come close together as we migrate into uncertain futures and look to what birds teach us about making borderless homes. Uplifted by a multilingual musical score by Destani Wolf and Ben Juodvalkis, FLOCK humanizes and celebrates the migration experiences alive in all our lineages.
