: Earlier this year in what seems like a lifetime ago I was humbled and honored to be named the Artistic Director of BANDALOOP. Since then, we, like many organizations, have experienced the extreme reality of a rapidly changing landscape the Great Simmer Down of 2020, reducing our activity to what is most essential. In the context of our mission, the timing was an opportunity. And so we paused. The rest of Melecio's message is availa...ble here: bandaloop.org/anchoredandsoaring Basil Tsimoyianis

Proud of the initiatives we're seeing emerge here in our hometown! Let mental health needs in our communities be handled by mental health experts.

BANDALOOP has always taken safety seriously. As the pandemic continues to evolve, we remain committed to creating, and to upholding & practicing our Culture of Safety. This core tenet of our work extends beyond the mechanics of climbing technology: it is about care of self, of community, and of space. We look forward to sharing new work with you soon.
