The Field

Aperçu // Bühnenperformance

Zurich has a new pool of dance makers: The Field. We are more than can be expressed with a single term. Most likely, we are a hybrid.

The Field builds up an open structure and cultivates different kinds of collaborations in dance and performance. In the space between various artistic disciplines and in close relationship with our surroundings and society at large, we want to practice, investigate, enjoy, reflect, exchange and perform. From these creative processes, interventions and stage pieces emerge that go far beyond what we generally understand by dance. On the opening weekend of the new Tanzhaus, The Field shares Aperçu – the result of its first three-week collaboration

The Field

The Field is a collective of dance artists who have been working together since 2019. The collective has collaborated with local and international artists to create a range of works from large scale performances to intimate artistic exchanges. So far, The Field has developed works with Meg Stuart (Waterworks), Isabel Lewis (Scalable Skeletal Escalator), Simone Aughterlony (The Best and the Worst of Us) and is currently developing a piece with Ofelia Jarl Ortega.

The collective came into being from the necessity to create flexible, versatile, sensitive and enduring forms of togetherness, to find ways of articulating our cultural, social and political concerns through dance experiences. Their commitment to non-hierarchical forms of working shapes all of The Field’s artistic outputs.
