Visiting troupe blends climbing with professional dance to defy gravity

Al Diaz

Bandaloop dancers have performed across the country turning public spaces into stages.

Skyscrapers, water towers, bridges, billboards and other vertical surfaces become stages for the pioneering dance group Bandaloop who will bring their awe-inspiring act to Washington State University in Pullman.

At 3 p.m. Saturday, April 11 dancers will perform on the north exterior wall of the WSU Terrell Library overlooking Rogers field (the football practice field adjacent to Martin Stadium). The performance, billed as one " that will change the way you see the world," is free. The San Francisco Chronicle called their show, "a new definition of freedom." Check out the video below to see why.

At Saturday's show people are advised to bring lawn chairs for seating. Other chances to see or meet the dancers are:

Open rehearsals: 8 a.m. to noon, Thursday and Friday, April 9 and 10 at WSU's Rogers Field.

Lecture: 7 p.m. Thursday at the WSU CUB Auditorium, free, featuring Bandaloop and muralist John Osgood, WSU alum with a dual “Off the Wall” themed lecture with Q&A session to follow.
