World Stage, Local Pride in the Pacific Northwest
First published in the New York Times, April 23, 2007. SEATTLE, April 21 — “It’s great to be home,” Trisha Brown said at the start of a pre-performance talk. Ms. Brown has been a leading light of New York postmodern dance since the 1960s, but the “home” she meant was Washington State, where she grew up.

You wonder the same again when you recall that Seattle’s Pacific Northwest Ballet has been among America’s foremost ballet companies since the 1980s, reaching international stature in the 1990s.

In the spring of 2022, Pongo began mentoring poetry with young people at the Echo Glen Children’s Center, a juvenile institution for youth serving criminal sentences.
