Since 1991, this aerial dance company has used climbing technology and dynamic physicality to turn the dance floor on its side, captivating audiences all over the world with performances on buildings, mountains and bridges. Project Bandaloop will dance on the side of an East End building during the inaugural First Niagara Rochester Fringe Festival (Sept. 19–23, www.rochesterfringe.com) on Thursday evening, September 20th. The free performance will include excerpts from “Bound(less)” with a musical score by Dana Leong. See article on page 14.
