Amelia Rudolph is a choreographer, educator, public speaker, and dynamic performer.  She founded Bandaloop in 1991, bringing together dance, climbing, and off-the-ground movement through site-reactive work on cliffs, buildings, and in theaters.  Rudolph holds BA and MA degrees in comparative religion from Swarthmore College and the Graduate Theological Union. She has been named an Irvine Fellow, is a multi-year recipient from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and has been awarded over 30 major grants and commissions, including, most recently, commissions from the Segerstrom Performing Arts Center, the Arts Partners in Creative Development in Canada as part of the Cultural Olympiad and major grants from the Wattis, Irvine, and American Express Foundations.  Her work has been presented in 12 countries and across North America, most often in non-traditional performance settings and free to the public.
