Autumn lec-dem programs


Recommended Posts

The company just announced a set of lecture-demonstration programs for the autumn, among them what looks like a repeat of Doug Fullington's excellent "Balanchine's Petipa" from last season -- some of the best time I spent watching dance all year.

From the press release:

TWYLA THARP

Thursday, September 18

5:30 pm, McCaw Hall

Choreographer Twyla Tharp will discuss her new works for PNB, with excerpts performed onstage by Company dancers. Ms. Tharp will also field questions from the audience. This special event is FREE for full season subscribers; subscribers may purchase additional tickets for $15; general admission $20.

BALANCHINE’S PETIPA

5:30 pm, Studio C, The Phelps Center, 301 Mercer St.

Education Programs Manager Doug Fullington will discuss the influence of Balanchine’s Russian training on his choreography, with a particular focus on pas de deux and corps de ballet choreography. Excerpts from PNB’s 2008-2009 repertory, as well as works by Marius Petipa, will be performed by Company dancers and students from Pacific Northwest Ballet School. Tickets to this special event are $20.

BALLET 101
