Current Work

"Bound(less)" (2012/13):

"Bound(less)" is a large-scale  vertical dance created by Project Bandaloop that explores how we imagine and construct the meaning of our identity as it is fored through human interactions and interactions with our environment. Featruring live music by the Dana Leong trio, "Bound(less)" looks at our internal and collaborative sense of self through momements that reveal our vulnerabiity and longing and group choreography that brings to life the tensions and power of communal action.  Physical metaphors including a single dress worn by three women and a tethered group dance are woven with intimate moments of movement and text into a dynamic aerial work performed on three buildings. "Bound(less)" premiered in the fall of 2011 in the Oakland, CA and went on to tour in Birmingham, AL, the New World Center in Miami Beach and The Old Post Office in Washington, DC, presented by The Kennedy Center. The first movement, formerly titled “IdEgo” had its premiere at the Segerstrom Performing Arts Center in Orange County in the fall of 2010 to audiences of near 20,000 people over three performances. Bound(less) represents the culmination of two decades of creating innovative works that respond to and interact with environments and audiences around the world and features six dancers and a live band who will make the side of a buliding their dance floor.

Bound(less) is a collaboration between choreographer Rudolph with assistant director Rachael Lincoln, the dancers of Project Bandaloop, Dana Leong, lighting designer Jack Carpenter and set designer/sculptor Todd Laby.  The creation of "Bound(less)" was funded by major grants from the Wattis Foundation, the James Irvine Foundation, the Rainin Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the San Francisco Arts Commission, Lighting Artists in Dance, a program of Dancers Group, The Zellerbach Family Foundation and individual donations through Kickstarter and Project Bandaloop's Anchor Circle of major donors. "Bound(less)" in its early form as "IdEgo" was an original commission by the Segerstrom Performing Arts Center.

LOFT! - 2010

Outdoors we are currently touring "Three Building Pieces" - which is a suite of dances that is adapted to the specific architectural features of a site. We also perform various hybrids of indoor and outdoor work.

We premiered short new works for the opening of the new wing of the Art Institute in Chicago (with the Taiko Project) and for our appearance with the Detroit symphony at the Detroit Festival. These new works are now folded into the repertoire that we can choose from to perform on architectural sites.
