Trailer
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 created 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 need to create flexible, versatile, sensitive and enduring forms of togetherness and to find ways of articulating our cultural, social and political concerns through dance experiences. A commitment to non-hierarchical forms of working shapes all of The Field’s artistic outputs.

«Scalable Skeletal Escalator» was part of the jury's Final Selection. As it is not possible to present it on stage, The Field will present their projects during a session entitled «Lunch with the Field».
«Scalable Skeletal Escalator» is an experimental artistic work by Isabel Lewis in collaboration with the collective The Field and the performer Rafał Pierzyński. The production was inspired by the theories of Dr. Lynn Margulis, an evolutionary biologist who considers cooperative and symbiotic relationships between species the driving force of evolution. Taking this theory as its point of departure, «Scalable Skeletal Escalator» is choreographically devised in the form of a holobiont, a complex and organic assemblage, examples of which include the human body. In performative moments and physical (inter-)action, The Field question western, intellectually-focused systems of thought, especially the negation of physical «vitality». By activating all the senses available during a performance, both the performers and the viewers are invited to (re-)discover their individual bodies and the body which is formed collectively, engaging in various sensual experiences.
