This Friday, The Field takes a step further in exploring how performance and dance can navigate the cyberspace with email my heart. Presented in the frame of the event series Sharing and Responding organized by the Academy of Fine Art Vienna and Kunsthalle Wien, this performative intervention pushes the envelope of virtual reality.
On Saturday May 16th, The Field will answer your questions with a dance in the frame of Zürich Tanzt! In a moment when we are encouraged to take physical distance from one another, The Field presents Question Kiosk 2.0, a digital format fostering intimate exchanges and mutual inspiration. No matter how big or small your question is, your danced answer will be personal and made with care. Check out the website of Zürich Tanzt to find out how to take part.
On March 30, 2020 in the frame of "Zürich Moves!", The Field would have premiered The Best and the Worst of Us, an iconic piece by Simone Aughterlony at Tanzhaus Zürich with additional shows at Südpol Luzern. Unfortunately due to the restrictions imposed associated with the Covid-19 crisis, the show will have to be postponed to a later date. Until then, we find comfort in sharing with you our "Quarantine version" as a symbolic gesture to better days and in appreciation of Simone's work and the support of our collaborative partners. Thank you to Tanzhaus Zürich, Zürich Moves! Südpol Luzern and all our sponsors! We are looking forward to sharing the live version with our audience as soon as possible!
In time of social distancing, The Field wishes to foster one-to-one interactions through a digital Question Kiosk, an interactive project that proposes a dialogue between performers and audiences. The concept is simple: The Field will provide a danced response to any question asked (any topic) with the possibility to engage in a further exchange of ideas with the performer. Wanna take part? Check out the Tanzhaus Zürich Instagram and you’ll find out how! Don't have Instagram? No worries! Submit your question via email and we will get back to you with our performative reply.
We are looking forward to your questions!
Following the restrictive measures put into place to limit the spread of the corona virus, zürich moves as well as ZÜRICH TANZT have been canceled. We are therefore unable to present either The Best and the Worst of Us or Question Kiosk. We hope to stage both the performance and the interactive project at a later stage in 2020 or 2021. Stay tuned for some updates and meanwhile stay healthy!
