Directed by Melecio Estrella, BANDALOOP’s FIELD is a large scale, outdoor, public, vertical dance-theater piece that deepens and challenges our perspective on the art, ancestry, and industry of textiles. FIELD brings together performing artists, climate scientists, regenerative textile artists, and creative riggers to turn an urban wall into a giant loom, interlacing ancestral weaving mythologies and traditional techniques of fabric creation with expressions of the ecological and social impacts of a globalized textile industry.

BANDALOOP is based on the land of the Chochenyo Ohlone People.

Estimated Artist Fee: $15,000/performance or $35,000/week long residency.
