This is Week 3 of Pacific Northwest Ballet's Celebrate Seattle Festival, and the busiest one. There's the cunningly named Program A, Program B, and Program C, all highlighting the work of locally born or spent-some-time-here choreographers. Plus, one of our favorite good times, 10 Tiny Dances is performing One Tiny Dance in the lobby at intermissions.

Program A debuts tonight (repeats Thursday, Sunday matinee); on the bill are Kiyon Gaines' {SCHWA}, Robert Joffrey's Remembrances, Merce Cunningham's Inlets 2, and Val Caniparoli's Torque.

Program B is Wednesday (repeats Saturday matinee), with John Alleyne's Schubert, Sonia Dawkins' Ripple Mechanics (in part, to Nina Simone's version of "Ne me quitte pas"), Toni Pimble's Two's Company, and Donald Byrd's Bhangra Fever.

If we were going to see just one, we'd see Program B, but due to our schedule, we are going to see just one and it's Program C. That's Friday (repeats Saturday, Sunday) and includes Trisha Brown's two Carmen pieces and Spanish Dance (as sung by Bob Dylan), Christopher Stowell's Adin, Mary Sheldon Scott's Locate, and the world premiere of Paul Gibson's Sense of Doubt, with music by Philip Glass.

April 17-22 // McCaw Hall // Tickets $20-$80
