Between you, me and the clouds of powder, incessantly pouffing around the stage throughout Jiří Kylián's 2 nd piece in the inaugural night—the hilarious Sechs  Tänze (Six Dances). I really wanted to like  the first two works by Czech choreographer Jiří Kylián .  I wanted to switch off my brain and enjoy what was clearly meant to be two light-hearted, bawdy, sensual, mixed-media ballets. And I really would have and I could have, if it hadn't been for those damned semiotics , my own sense of representation and its importance--and also, a general feeling of unease that grew as I watched each piece and my own pro-fe

Image
The 50th season at Pacific Northwest Ballet has come to an end and boy, did it conclude with a bang as ballet dancers and PNB students came together to create amazing dances that dazzled with nary a moment of misstep.  The event brought together by N ext Step Program Coordinator Eva Stone, with lighting design by Reed Nakayama and the PNB costume shop is a chance for ballet dancers and advanced students to create new choreography and ultimately, to create magic!

  Tatiana Garmendia in the Performance "Patria Querida." This is the second in a series of interviews with the artists/performance artists of On the Edge: 2 nd International Latinx Performance Art Festival. Tatiana is an inspiration who effortlessly glides from amazing painting skills to thought provoking, powerful performance. Xavier: Please take a moment to introduce yourself and describe your artwork for us.   Are you primarily a performance artist?   If not, what other forms of artwork do you do?   Tatiana Garmendia: Think of me as a visual Jungian whose work centers around archetypal narratives. I’m really interdisciplinary and circle an initial image or memory from different points of view, working with a variety of materials like charcoal, ink, paint, photos, collage, sculptural installation, film, language, you name it. Each material adds layers of meaning, of tradition that add clarity or opacity to the narrative embedded in an archetype. I actually do very li
