Directed by Melecio Estrella, BANDALOOP’s LOOM is a trilogy of large-scale, outdoor public vertical dance pieces that deepens and challenges our perspective on the art and industry of textiles. Bringing together a collective of performing artists, climate scientists, regenerative textile artists, a visual technologist and creative riggers, the evening length piece turns a building’s façade into a giant loom where stories and dances interlace. Estrella’s collaborators include 9th generation Nigerian weaver and costume designer IB Bayo, theater artist Chibueze Crouch, composer Ben Juodvalkis, featuring vocalist Destani Wolf, visual creative technologist Osman Koç, and BANDALOOP dancers and riggers.
