I’m in Seattle visiting a client, @Pacific Northwest Ballet. Last night, as their guest, I attended one of the best evenings of dance I’ve ever experienced. There were three pieces choreographed by women—Twyla Tharp, Jessica Lang, and Crystal Pite. While they were each different, they complemented each other perfectly and together made a powerful impression.
In McCaw Hall, a venue I’ve been to many times, there is a new sculpture in the lobby. From below, it reminded me of a Rube Goldberg creation. From other levels of the theater, it looked quite different, an intricate metal structure studded with odd bits and pieces.
