The
active use of imagination and dreaming of what might be possible without limits
should never be underestimated as forces for youthful creativity. We at
PNB take a lot of pride in our youth, and in our future, which is why we are
continuing to provide teens around the Seattle area with a great source of
inspiration. That source is PNB’s Teen Night on Wednesday, May 9th! Teen
Night is a one hour open rehearsal and an exclusive preview of our NEXT STEP
program, where PNB company dancers choreograph new works on PNB School’s
Professional Division students.
TEEN
NIGHT is your chance to see your favorite dancers up close and personal, ask them
questions, and see a different side to their creativity. This year’s NEXT STEP
choreographers are: Ezra Thomson, Sean Rollofson, Chelsea Adomaitis, Eric
Hipolito, Kyle Davis and Kiyon
Gaines. To throw some more into the mix, we are also having a preview
of PNB School’s new work by Price Suddarth.
Last
year, we had a great rehearsal and reception with treats and drinks. More than
200 teens ages 13 – 19 took part in the evening, and got to speak and mingle
with the choreographers and dancers. This year promises to live up to the
excitement from last year, and with the $5 ticket price, we all wish we were
teenagers! Come and join us, leave your parents at home, and share in the
excitement and imagination of PNB’s best on May 9th!
