The Vertiginous Thrill of Forsythe William Forsythe and his ballets attract extreme adjectives-the choreographer has been extending what we understand about virtuosity since he started making work in the 1980s. Building on George Balanchine’s neoclassical experiments, Forsythe’s dancers move farther and faster-the thin red line of the classical tradition is still there, but it’s stretched to new limits with each new work. Pacific Northwest Ballet has been dipping into this volatile universe for several years, but has now accumulated enough dances to make a full evening. With three works being presented, two new to Seattle, the result may send everyone into orbit. (Through March 22.) SANDRA KURTZ McCaw Hall (Seattle Center), 321 Mercer St., Seattle, WA 98109 $30-$184 Wednesday, March 18, 2015
