Presented by PACIFIC NORTHWEST BALLET. PNB's popular, free discussion series continues this afternoon as PNB Education programs manager Doug Fullington and guests discuss the Ballet's forthcoming "Director's Choice" program. Dancers, choreographers, and other special guests make these lively and enjoyable programs for ballet fans interested in what goes on behind-the-scene. This fall's "Director's Choice" program includes two ballets by Jiri Kylian (music by Mozart), a Philip Glass/Jerome Robbins collaboration, and work by Nacho Duarto, choreographed to traditional Catalonian songs.
