After "Carmina Burana & Pacific" closes on April 15, Pacific Northwest Ballet's new Celebrate Seattle festival kicks into high gear. Dance aficionados are still puzzling through the programming grid. It appears to be possible to see almost everything as long as you don't want to go home for more than a quick change and a nap during the final weekend.
From April 17 to April 22, PNB will present the world première of Paul Gibson's "Sense of Doubt"; the PNB premières of Robert Joffrey's "Remembrances" with Seattle soprano Jane Eaglen singing the solo, Merce Cunningham's "Inlets 2," Toni Pimble's "Two's Company" and Trisha Brown's "Carmen Overture, Carmen Entre'acte and Spanish Dance." Also on the program is Val Caniparoli's "Torque," and entering PNB's repertory for the first time are Kiyon Gaines' "{SCHWA}" and Sonia Dawkins' "Ripple Me-chanics."
Other Northwest dance companies will join PNB at McCaw Hall, including Scott/PowellPerformance, performing the world première of Mary Sheldon Scott's "Locate"; Ballet British Columbia, performing John Alleyne's "Schubert"; Spectrum Dance Theater, performing Donald Byrd's "Bhangra Fever"; and Oregon Ballet Theatre, performing Christopher Stowell's "Adin."
Tickets for this third week of performances range from $20 to $80. More information about dates and times can be found at www.pnb.org - or pick up a program at the PNB Box Office, 321 Mercer St.
