ALL PREMIERE Featuring a world premiere by Mark Morris, plus new works by PNB artists Andrew Bartee, Kiyon Gaines and Margaret Mullin.
November 2 – 11, 2012
Pacific Northwest Ballet continues its 40th Anniversary Season with ALL PREMIERE, a four-pack of world premieres which underscore the deep commitment to dance innovation and the encouragement of emerging choreographers which has been central to PNB’s mission from its inception. In 1978, young Seattleite Mark Morris choreographed a short work for PNB’s Summer Inventions series, an early choreographic showcase. Recognized as his generation’s dance pioneer and considered the most musical choreographer in the world, Morris sets his first commissioned ballet for PNB to a cello concerto by Paul Hindemith (Kammermusik No. 3). PNB Artistic Director Peter Boal developed the NEXT STEP choreographers’ showcase to cultivate PNB’s current crop of young dance-makers. NEXT STEP veteran and Company soloist Kiyon Gaines debuts his second ballet for the mainstage, Sum Stravinsky, an homage to inspirations George Balanchine and Kent Stowell. Another pair of NEXT STEP alumni, Company corps de ballet dancers Margaret Mullin and Andrew Bartee, take a professional leap forward with their first works for PNB’s repertory, Lost in Light and arms that work (respectively).
ALL PREMIERE runs for seven performances only, from November 2 through 11 at Seattle Center’s Marion Oliver McCaw Hall. Tickets start at $28 and may be purchased by calling 206.441.2424, in person at the PNB Box Office at 301 Mercer Street, or online at www.pnb.org. Special thanks to the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, presenting sponsor for ALL PREMIERE.
