In
one of the most thrilling programs of the season, Cedar Lake Contemporary
Ballet performs the highly anticipated world premiere of Sidi Larbi
Cherkaoui's Orbo Novo, July 8 - 12 in the Ted Shawn Theatre.
Cherkaoui, of Belgium, is one of Europe 's most in-demand dancemakers,
known for his intensely eclectic movement style and a unique repertory
that deals with connections and divisions among cultures.
The New York Times anticipates Orbo Novo, performed
to live music at the Pillow, as "one of the most exciting events
of the new season." Read
full press announcement.

This
season, Pacific Northwest Ballet returns to the Ted Shawn Theatre
August 19-23, with an exclusive program featuring the work of late
choreographer Ulysses Dove. Lauded as one of the most innovative
contemporary choreographers of the past century, Dove's work combines
his distinct sense of speed and attack with daring eroticism, emotional
strength, and power. In this exclusive program, PNB performs Vespers,
Dancing on the Front Porch of Heaven, and the dynamic Red
Angels. Read
