Sleep comes from the other place
Local dance enthusiasts have something to look forward to this weekend.On the Boards, which has been bringing Seattle great dance this season (Bloolips, Kumiko Kumoto), will present their crowning achievement of the year this weekend at the Moore Theatre: Pat Graney's "Sleep (making peace with the angels)."For those not in the know, Pat Graney is the most nationally-acclaimed contemporary choreographer working in our city. While not a hometown girl in the strictest sense (Graney is originally from Florida and got her dance BA at the University of Arizona), it has been a great blessing that she chose Seattle as her home and that she has remained here with her company in spite of national and international success.

Edit:
More To Look Out For
At On the Boards Pat Graney will revive "Sleep (Making peace with the angels)," Jan. 28-30.

Dance Of Dreams -- `Sleep' Takes Choreographer Pat Graney Into Strange Worlds
"It's so hard to talk about dreams - people think it's just this crazy women's thing," says choreographer Pat Graney. She's sitting in a local coffee shop, composed and alert, sipping tea. On this day the world premiere of "Sleep (making peace with the angels)," her first full-evening dance theater work in four years, is still two weeks off (it opens Thursday).
