Umami Dance Aaron Shwartzman and Aiko Kinoshita both have multiple roles in the dance community as performers, teachers, and choreographers. But when they work together as Umami, the results are far more than the sum of their already impressive parts. Kinetically, they come from the evocative part of the modern-dance lexicon, where movement has meaning, but it’s allusive rather than didactic. Fundamentally, all their dancing is about relationships, but we’re not quite sure with whom. They’re joined by a rotating cast of local dance artists in Constellation Half Remembered, an evolving work showing at various locations around town. Tonight through Sunday, the show’s in the U District. Following are performances in West Seattle’s Jack Block Park ( 3 p.m. Sat., July 20) and Parallel Public Works in Burien (8 p.m. Fri., July 26-Sat., July 27). SANDRA KURTZ., acorndance.org. Various Locations, 0 St., Seattle, N/A, $12-$18, Fri., July 26, 8 p.m.; Sat., July 27, 8 p.m..
