Quote The two companies, which share Marion Oliver McCaw Hall as a performing space, will launch their seasons with smaller-scale performances, gradually moving toward larger works. PNB will begin in September with a repertory program of work by Alejandro Cerrudo (the company’s current resident choreographer), including a ballet previously seen only through the company’s digital season; all are works with smaller casts that can be rehearsed and performed with physical distance.
