Flock recently premiered at The Momentary in Bentonville, Arkansas and will continue it’s migration home to Oakland as Somewhere to Land. Featuring Collab choir guided by Destani Wolf of Destani’s Piece. 1-5pm

BANDALOOP’s multi-part, vertical dance public art project FLOCK, responding to sites and paths for human and bird migration.
“Wolf and Juodvalkis have composed a living multi-lingual song cycle around themes of bird migration and human migration,” says BANDALOOP Artistic Director Melecio Estrella. “Migratory birds, directed by ancient internal maps, can perhaps inspire us to consider our own personal migration stories and what wisdom they may hold for us as we navigate the ever increasing changes and challenges of environmental and social change.”

FLOCK is a vertical dance theater performance expressing a magic-realism story of a colorful child traveling across a precarious sky as both bird and human, surrounded by the love and protection of a familial flock. Creative development of the work will form from choreographic research into avian flocking behaviors and personal and community migration story-sharing. Performed high above the ground on the side of a building, FLOCK brings together vertical dance, multilingual music, and stunning visuals into an a one-of-a-kind, site-responsive live performance experience in honor of migrating children and families.
