Pantry Pollination

“Pantry Pollination” arrives at Queens Botanical Garden as a live dance work built around everyday food storage and the wider systems that keep a city fed. Movement unfolds in dialogue with the garden setting, drawing attention to cycles of growth, labor, and exchange that usually stay offstage. If this is its first appearance in New York City, it reads as a small cultural marker: contemporary dance continuing to migrate into public, non-theatrical spaces. One clear effect is how the work makes domestic routine feel infrastructural.
