The Spaces Between, a ballet choreographed by Price Suddarth.  Premiere: Pacific Northwest Ballet NEXT STEP performance June 14, 2013.  With music by Olafur Arnalds, costume design by Larae Hascall and lighting design by Randall G. Chiarelli.

"Suddarth’s breathtakingly beautiful duet received a well-deserved standing ovation (at its world premiere on june 14, 2013).  He used the repeating strains to develop the pair’s movements, balancing moments of intimacy, contact and control with delicate exchanges between the dancers where contact is refused or playfully avoided.  Truly a beautiful work from an exceptionally promising young artist." - Seattle Arts News

We page through old photo albums--filled with sometimes vivid, sometimes faded snapshots--expecting them to encapsulate fully life's precious moments and evolving journey.  However, in reality, they are only brief fragments of a much larger story.  Life is active, and ever changing-- it is lived, not frozen in time.  It is what weaves these select picturesque moments together that makes life something full, and something truly wonderful.  This work challenges the viewer to look beyond the brief snippets and discover instead the beauty that lies between.
