| Summary | Join Doug Fullington, Educational Programs Manager at Pacific Northwest Ballet, for a preview of Director’s Choice, a program of four ballets to be performed by Pacific Northwest Ballet. |
| Full Description | Fullington will introduce Director’s Choice, PNB’s fall program of four ballets, through an informal lecture and recorded film excerpts. Two works choreographed by Jiri Kylian to the music of Mozart are the "Petite Mort", a returning favorite whose choreography includes six men, six women, and six fencing foils; and a PNB premiere, "Sechs Tänze (Six Dances)", a comic tour de force utilizing bubbles, powdered wigs, and rolling ball gowns. PNB premiere "Glass Pieces", choreographed by Jerome Robbins to three works by Phillip Glass, evokes poetry through dancer groupings and movement progressions. Audience-favorite "Jardí Tancat", choreographed by Nacho Duato, rounds out the program with powerful signature work danced to traditional Catalonian songs. Audience comments and questions are welcome. |
