The BAM Ball

Guests will enjoy cocktails, dinner, and the opening night performance of Vollmond (Full Moon), an elemental late work by the legendary choreographer and longtime BAM associate Pina Bausch, performed by Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch—followed by an electric After Party.

Proceeds from The BAM Ball support our mission as a home of curious people and adventurous ideas. BAM’s programs advance artistic experimentation and champion inclusion and accessibility throughout the arts as presenter, activator, and connector.

More information will be announced in the coming weeks. If we can answer any questions, please reach out to us at gala@BAM.org.
