BANDALOOP: Directed by Melecio Estrella, BANDALOOP’s LOOM:FIELD is a large-scale, outdoor public vertical dance piece and blends ancestral weaving mythologies, traditional techniques of fabric creation, expressions of the ecological and social impacts of a globalized textile industry, and the influence of technological fibers that connect and divide our digital lives into a dynamic performance. Co-created with Engine & Subcircle, LOOM:LOOM:FIELD themes will reach community members through workshops that combine fabric techniques and community stitching with embodiment and dance methodologies. Aimed at learners of all ages, these workshops and lectures can be designed with both on the ground and vertical dance opportunities, exploring collaborations with local youth development organizations.
