SHARING: Calling

The Field

In this sharing for the upcoming work Calling, the choreographer Ofelia Jarl Ortega and the collective The Field examine power structures. Softly drawing on concepts of power-play from BDSM, The Field examines its own power dynamics. Through choreographic games and playful scenarios, these dynamics are revealed in all their complexity. The performers offer themselves to each other to be used or abused, downtrodden or deified, teased or even pleasured. By metaphorically topping-from-the-bottom, and bottoming-from-the-top, unstable situations risk betraying innermost wishes and desires.

The work-in-progress Sharing will be followed by a brief audience discussiomn.

The work premieres on April 17 at Tanzhaus Zürich.

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.
