// Field
Length: 55 minutes
Land is the belly of man. The field is the screen on which the history of man and civilization is projected; it is the tangible surface between past and future. It contains the heritage of the roots and supports the promises of the harvest. In a cross-cultural journey, Tolentino’s Field is a new interdisciplinary dance work that realized through an evocative exploration, meeting and transformation of ethnicity and modernity. Field is man, work, roots, grain and the life reflecting the force of one’s identity over time.

As an arts organization with roots of Filipino heritages, migrant stories and racialized settlers, we acknowledge our privilege to be living and creating art here on Turtle Island. We acknowledge the land upon which most of Co. ERASGA's work takes place: the traditional and unceded lands of the Coast Salish people including the Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw), Tsleil-Waututh (səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ) and Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm) Nations, the original stewards and caretakers of these lands.
As artists, we humbly recognize the continued work that needs to be done on the road to reconciliation. We commit to our own education, sharing of resources and artistries for continued respect, solidarity, awareness towards decolonial relation and work with the Indigenous people of Canada.
