SUMMARY:Keely Garfield // Telling the Bees
DESCRIPTION:Hailed as an artist working “at the height of her powers
 ” (New York Times), and recently nominated for a 2012 New York Dance
  and Performance Award “Bessie” for Twin Pines, Keely Garfield 
 now sheds her recent over-the-top works, adopting a plainer approach, 
 and a pared-down inventory. Embracing the optimism of empty space Garf
 ield presents scenes polished to reveal their essential crystalline na
 ture, and redefines herself for the time being.\nThe forgotten custom 
 of telling bees when their beekeeper died, was believed to keep the be
 es from absconding or even dying, and encourage their affiliation with
  a new beekeeper. This tradition assumes a reciprocal relationship be
 tween animals and humans, between past, present and future, and betwee
 n the lines of life and death.\n“The Time Is Now!” proclaim hawker
 s of the end of the world theories urging us to pay attention to catas
 trophic signs all around us. But time itself is not a thing outside of
  anyone. We are time. The singular inhabitants of Telling The Bees 
 do not move towards time in a strict chronological manner but rather, 
 through the lens of performance, observe that time is enlivened and el
 astic, supraliminal and supramolecular. Is perpetuation a disappearin
 g act or a reappearing one? The gods of time, the dry-eyed divider of 
 moments Chronos and his more fluid brother Kairos, who knows Now as th
 e gateway to eternity, vie for attention.\n\nPerhaps sent by the gods 
 to show us how to live in harmony and accord, bees are currently facin
 g the greatest threat to their existence as Colony Collapse Disorder (
 CCD) decimates their broods. Since honeybees are the primary pollinat
 ors of many fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants, humans are also fa
 cing environmental and ethical challenges around the wide use of pesti
 cides and the consequences of our disregard for the other life forms t
 hat we share this planet with. Telling The Bees forages links betwee
 n the waggle and round dances of the honeybees, their timeless industr
 ious, cooperative societies, the honeyed results of their toil and the
  sting of breakdown in our own organizing principles.\nTelling The Bee
 s is choreographed and performed by Keely Garfield; and features per
 formances by Paul Hamilton, Molly Lieber, Brandin Steffensen, and 
 Omagbitse Omagbemi. Original drones and tones by Luca Fadda, electron
 ic beats byCyrus Ra, and live song cycles by Matthew Brookshire.\n\n
