Pacific Northwest Ballet closes out its season with two ballets Seattle loves and one ballet Seattle has never seen before. Crystal Pite's meta-theatrical noir, Plot Point, has everything you didn't know you wanted out of dance: a Dick Tracy mood, a Psycho soundtrack, two slow-mo street brawls, and knowing writer-nerd jokes about the paradox of traditional narrative structures. Twyla Tharp's Waiting at the Station is a swinging, jazzy number that drops you into New Orleans—your body relaxes, you get a little happy-lonesome-sad, and you reach for a non-existent Sazerac. Edward Liang, artistic director at BalletMet, is known for his elegant and expressive choreography. RICH SMITH
