Brangien Davis: What feelings leap to mind when you realize you are presenting a world premiere at PNB?Price Suddarth: Ecstatic, eager, blessed. And, depending on when you ask me, nervous.BD: How do you get a grip on the nerves?PS: Deep breathing…and going over the steps.BD: Describe the movement in your new piece.PS: Sleek, flowy, fast, exciting.BD: What will count as success? PS: For me, success is creating the ballet I want to make. If I feel as if I have put a piece of myself on the stage, I will be happy.
WHIM W’HIMFor its new production, Choreographic Shindig, the company founded by former Pacific Northwest Ballet dancer Olivier Wevers put out an international call for choreographers—and received 95 applicants. The company members chose three (from Texas, San Francisco and Switzerland) et voilà, the contemporary ballet party begins. 9/11–9/19. Erickson Theater Off Broadway, 1524 Harvard Ave.; 206.329.1050; whimwhim.org
KITTEN N’ LOU Gender-bending duo Kitten N’ Lou bring their sparkly blend of burlesque, slap-stick comedy and outrageous costumes to a new variety show, Overexposed, which finds the real-life couple ponder-ing the regular old realities of married life. 9/17–9/19. Times and prices vary. Century Ballroom, West Hall, 915 E Pine St.; kittenandlou.com
SANKAI JUKUAre you butoh-curious? If you’ve always wondered about the Japanese dance
form—with its bald heads, white body paint and painstakingly precise move-ment—you will have no finer an introduc-tion than seeing Ushio Amagatsu’s world-renowned group. The North American premiere of Umusuna: Memories Before History involves sand pouring from the ceiling, corsets gored open and mouths agape. 10/1–10/3. Times and prices vary. Meany Hall, 4140 George Washington Lane NE; 206.543.4880; artsuw.org
PAT GRANEYOne of Seattle’s true artistic treasures, Pat Graney never fails to think deeply about dance. For her new piece, Girl Gods, she explores female rage by way of physical frustration and mathematical choreog-raphy that resembles tantrums. At the work-in-progress showing of the piece last spring, viewers shifted from laugh-ter to skin-prickling silence in an instant. 10/1–10/4. Times and prices vary. On the Boards, 100 W Roy St.; 206.217.9888; ontheboards.org
EMILY JOHNSONWhen it comes to performance, Minneapolis-based artist Emily Johnson thinks holistically. Raised in Alaska and of Yup’ik descent, she creates dance that is often more installation than choreography, and reaches a wider audi-
ence than the dance-going regulars. In Seattle, her performances begin outside and progress to the stage, and will be paired with community volunteerism, readings by Native American authors and a feast. 10/15–10/17. Times and prices vary. On the Boards, 100 W Roy St.; 206.217.9888; ontheboards.org
AKRAM KHANThis London-based choreographer has never performed in the Northwest before, but is well known elsewhere for his seam-less blend of contemporary movement with classical Indian dance. His company makes its debut with the captivating new piece Kaash, a gloriously fluid exploration of black holes, tablas and Hindu gods. 11/12–11/14. Times and prices vary. Meany Hall, 4140 George Washington Lane NE; 206.543.4880; artsuw.org
MAYA SOTO AND NICO TOWERLocal choreographer Maya Soto pairs with Seattle composer Nico Tower for a multi-media performance that combines spoken word, theater, video and contemporary dance—in spaaaaace! Called Inner Galac-tic, the piece spans sci-fi, Carl Sagan and matters of the human heart. 11/13–11/15. Times vary. $18–$20. Velocity Dance Center, 1621 12th Ave.; 206.325.8773; velocitydancecenter.org
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Still kicking yourself for skipping that dance performance everyone was
buzzing about last year? Make amends with these return engagements.
Peggy Piacenza: Touch Me HereThe local performer’s one-woman show spins an enchanting tale of strip clubs, the aging process and Lotan Baba, the rolling saint of India. Alternately harrow-ing and hilarious, it’s accompanied by a gorgeous live cello score. 9/3–9/4. 8 p.m. $12–$20. Velocity Dance Center, 1621 12th Ave.; 206.325.8773; velocitydancecenter.org
Karin Stevens Dance with Sam Boshnack QuintetThe Seattle choreographer and UW grad presents an evening of jazz-inspired dance, featuring five works performed to live music composed by local trumpet virtuoso Samantha Boshnack. 10/23–10/25. Times and prices vary. Velocity Dance Center, 1621 12th Ave.; 206.325.8773; velocitydancecenter.org
KT Niehoff: A Glimmer of Hope or Skin or LightGlam rock meets cabaret meets modern dance in this immersive performance/party directed by longtime Seattle choreographer KT Niehoff and featuring a cast of fine, very feathery friends. Don your most flamboyant get-up and join the fun. 10/30–11/14. Times and prices vary. ACT Theatre, 700 Union St.; 206.292.7676; acttheatre.org
Crystal Pite: EmergenceEmergence is an impressive mixed bill at Pacific Northwest Ballet, including work by Jessica Lang, PNB’s own Kiyon Gaines and Price Suddarth (see above). It’s also the title of a can’t-miss-twice modern ballet by Crystal Pite of Vancouver, B.C., a dark swarm of insect-like legs and fluttery, flicky movement. 11/6–11/15. Times and prices vary. Pacific Northwest Ballet, 301 Mercer St.; 206.441.2424; pnb.org
Mark Morris Dance Group: A Wooden TreeWhen Seattle-grown choreographer Mark Morris premiered A Wooden Tree at On the Boards in 2012, the 14 funny, folksy dances set to ditties by Scottish humorist and songwriter Ivor Cutler earned deserved raves. Also on the bill: Morris’ remarkable Cargo, Whelm and The. 11/20–11/22. Times and prices vary. The Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Ave.; 206.682.1414; stgpresents.org
Price Suddarth joined the Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB) corps de ballet in 2011 and has already landed roles in Swan Lake, Roméo et Juliette and Sleeping Beauty. This month he proves his mettle as a choreographer, with a world premiere (yet to be named) on the PNB main stage (see “Emergence,” below), fea-turing a big cast and original music by Seattle’s Barret Anspach.

FASHION/SHOPPING DINING/FOOD/CHEFS/WINE94 SEATTLEMAG.COM DECEMBER 2015 DECEMBER 2015 SEATTLEMAG.COM 95
DINNER ROLLSFor the nostalgic comfort of classic
dinner rolls, hit up Macrina Bakery. Its tender and buttery buttermilk dinner rolls are baked in oven-safe trays, so you reheat them just before serving—bringing on a dose of fresh-baked aroma. Going a little less traditional, you say? Then pick the por-cini harvest dinner rolls, flecked with dried porcini and fresh herbs. (We hear these are particularly fabulous for day-after mini sandwiches.) Both types of rolls ($5.25/tray of 6) will be available until Jan. 3 at Mac-rina bakeries, but for a sure bet, call ahead to place an order. Belltown, 2408 First Ave.; 206.448.4032; Queen Anne, 615 W McGraw St.; 206.283.5900; SoDo, 1943 First Ave. S; 206.623.0919; macrinabakery.com
BAGUETTE
Interested in a sleek baguette with which to grace your table? The baguette that’s been anointed as the city’s best— at the French-American Chamber of Commerce’s French Fest, no less—is that of Columbia City Bakery, three-time winner of the chamber’s Best Baguette contest. The gorgeous loaf ($4.50) is crusty but not hard on the outside, airy and toothsome inside. It also comes in a seeded version ($4.75). And both plain and seeded are available in a slenderer ficelle loaf ($4.20/$4.65). Columbia City, 4865 Rainier Ave. S; 206.723.6023, columbiacitybakery.com
RUSTIC LOAFFor a more robust option, head to
Tall Grass Bakery for a loaf of its pain au levain ($5), with its mild sourdough flavor. The light-style whole wheat bread has a somewhat chewy texture and will be a great complement to whatever is on the menu. You can also get this bread with walnuts (baked in a larger loaf at $10, but you can buy half a loaf for $5), amping up its already nutty character (particularly delicious with cheese). Both are regularly available at the Ballard store, and at the bakery’s farmers’ market stands (Sundays in both Ballard, sfmamarkets.com, and West Seattle, seattlefarmersmarkets.org, this time of year). Order ahead if you want to get your loaf on those busiest holiday-eve days. Ballard, 5907 24th Ave. NW; 206.706.0991; tallgrassbakery.com
BISCUITS
You can serve all the fresh-from-the-oven pleasure of homemade biscuits—requir-ing little more than a bowl, a spoon and some buttermilk—if you grab a canister of biscuit mix ($6.99) from Honest Bis-cuits (Pike Place Market, 1433 First Ave.; 206.682.7179; honestbiscuits.com). The business has been a regular at a number of area farmers’ markets for four years, and came out with its mix (which uses local Shepherd’s Grain flour) a few years ago. The mix also comes in a gluten-free version ($13.99). You can buy the mix at the Pike
Place Market store, as well as at its West Seattle farmers’ market booth on Sundays (plus other markets in season).
BETTER WITH BUTTERAs for the delicious butter to spread on
those breads, the array of options today is richer than ever. Regular grocery dairy cases now offer several domestic and Eu-ropean producers. Labels to keep an eye out for include Vermont Cultured Butter, Crémerie Classique, Kerrygold, Plugra and Paysan Breton. A few spots within Pike Place Market sell a range of great butters, including DeLaurenti (1435 First Ave.; 206.622.0141; delaurenti.com), The Pike Place Market Creamery (1514 Pike Place, Suite 3; 206.622.5029) and Beecher’s (1600 Pike Place; 206.956.1964; beechershandmadecheese.com). Elsewhere, The Calf & Kid (Capitol Hill, 1531 Melrose Ave.; 206.467.5447; calfandkid.com) and Big John’s PFI (Chi-natown/International District, 1001 Sixth Ave. S; 206.682.2022; bigjohnspfi.com) add more to the mix. And keep an eye out for seasonal indulgences, such as the truffle-enhanced butter that The Calf & Kid brings in from Italy for the holidays.
Most cooks stock up on unsalted butter, which is typically preferred in recipes—especially for baking. When it comes to spreading on bread, salted butter is most definitely used more often; the boost of flavor from the salt makes bread especially delicious. Some butters use a flaky salt that adds a little crunch to boot. Or take a cue from Macrina Bakery founder Leslie Mackie: Chop a few of your favorite ten-der, fresh herbs, toss them with flaky sea salt and sprinkle it over pieces of unsalted butter for serving with bread. Salted but-ter done your own way!
One of the delights among local butter producers is Cherry Valley Dairy (cherryval-leydairy.com) in Duvall. Its herd of Jersey cows produces extra-rich and creamy milk, with the telltale deep yellow color it has in butter form (the dairy makes unsalted and gray salt versions, with a surprise variation in the works for the holidays). Calf & Kid sells it in big rounds from which you can get custom by-the-ounce portions, $22 per pound, with a little $2 “taster” size; also available at a handful of other Seattle shops and at the Broadway Farmers Market on Sundays (seattlefarmersmarkets.org) this time of year.
You’ve put all that thought into the celebration spread for your holiday meal—don’t lose steam before getting to the beloved, holy staples of bread and butter. As with everything else, ’tis the season to consider some new options.

Capitol Hill’s soon-to-open
second gourmet food market,
CHOPHOUSE ROW, will
deliver platefuls of new tastes
With CHOPHOUSE ROW’s debut
(which, at press time, was expected this
month on 11th Avenue between Pike and
Union streets), Capitol Hill will be home
to two destination food halls; the first,
of course, being the west end’s marvel-
ous Melrose Market (at Melrose and Pine
streets). At Chophouse, we will find fine
viennoiseries (Viennese-style pastries) from
AMANDINE, the long-awaited bakeshop
from Bruce and Sara Naftaly of Ballard’s
iconic (and now shuttered) Le Gourmand,
served with coffee from Empire Espresso.
We’ll stop in at KURT FARM SHOP for
scoops of artisanal flavors of farm-fresh,
just-churned ice cream made with milk
from Kurt Timmermeister’s cows, who
graze on his Vashon Island farm. There
will be a second BAR FERD’NAND, a
more full-scale expression of Matt Dillon’s
Melrose Market wine bar concept (with
much of the menu showcasing wood-fired,
dry-aged meats). In keeping with the
health-obsessed times, at CHOP SHOP
JUICE AND PROVISIONS, veggies will
vie for equal billing with fruit, and in the
anchor space, the CHOP SHOP CAFÉ
AND BAR, a casual, open-all-day affair—
both from Ericka Burke, proprietress of the
perennially charming Volunteer Park Cafe.
Something good to eat and drink
is planned for everywhere you turn, just
as we would’ve hoped. Here, a
sampling of food finds from each.
At Matt Dillon’s second Bar Ferd’nand,
dry-aged meats, local seafoods and fine
seasonal produce will be prepared simply,
much of it in a wood-fired oven. Wine,
too, takes center stage (expect an
excellent selection of boutique wine finds
from co-owner and sommelier Marc
Papineau, for purchase or as glass pours).
We’ve been waiting for years for
pastry chef Sara Naftaly to showcase
her viennoiserie in a proper bakery.
The former Le Gourmand co-owner
will do just that at Amandine,
where you’ll, of course, find almond
croissants, for which the bakery is
named, as well as assorted macarons,
rhubarb buttermilk cake, and the puff
pastry sacristain (pictured, right) with
Zante currants and sliced almonds.
Craving real ice cream
made from scratch from Jersey
cream? Look no farther than
Kurt Farm Shop, where, yes,
you’ll find Kurt Timmermeister’s
beloved Dinah’s cheese. But also,
small-batch ice creams in such
echanting flavors as tomato jam
(pictured right). Is it summer yet?
Wake up, Capitol Hill. Ericka Burke’s Chop
Shop Juice and Provisions is your new stop
for freshly pressed juices—kale, ginger and
apple and blood orange, among others. Her
Chop Shop Café & Bar is an open-all-day
affair where fresh and hearty coexist: Look
for beet and apple salad with celery and
goat cheese, and a gnocchi dish with lamb
ragu, cipollini onion and gremolata (below).

Jerome A. Parker and

of Dinah. They describe this
intergenerational story of five
black queens as “Jean Genet
meets Paris Is Burning.”

ow firmly ensconced in Pio-
neer Square in Nordo’s Culina-
rium, at the former location of
The Elliott Bay Book Compa-
ny, the once itinerant but always lavishly
produced and provocatively entertaining
Café Nordo has found a permanent home
to present its shows. These productions
inhabit a unique intersection of culinary
and performance art, with immersive
staging, clever original music and distinc-
tively thematic cuisine.
Nordo opens its 2016–17 season by
presenting its new work, Hotel Nordo,
a drama with a musical score that takes
place in a lobby where the living and the
dead cross paths, and divisions between
past, present and future are blurred,
crossed and broken. Directed by Erin
Brindley, written by Terry Podgorski, and
starring Nordo regulars Ronnie Hill, Alys-
sa Keene, Evan Mosher, Opal Peachey,
Richard Sloniker and Ray Tagavilla, with
original music composed by Annastasia
Workman, Hotel Nordo will explore the
hold the dead have upon the living in the
form of memories, regret and loss. Expect
this journey to the underworld to thrill
and delight, with four courses of imagi-
natively paired dishes to remind us that
we are very much among the living. Hotel
Nordo runs 9/22–11/20. Times and prices
vary. Nordo Culinarium, 109 S Main St.;

WITH JACKSONVILLE’S MAIN DRAG, California Street, seemingly unchanged since the days of horse-drawn carriages, its Wild West storefronts are just a few of the charming delights of this southern Oregon town. After gold was discovered in the area in 1851, the town boomed with enough settlers to make it the largest city in Oregon, and in 1966 the entire town was designated as a National Historic Landmark. More than 100 charming historic buildings and homes in the small town (population 2,816) could make for a cuteness overload, but the town’s stellar food and wine scene makes it a gastro destination to rival a big city.
Try out the Jacksonville Inn’s farm-to-fork restaurant, where ingredients travel no farther than 100 miles before arriving on your plate; or pop in to sample the wines in the downtown tast-ing room of Quady North, an estate vineyard that takes advantage of the sunny and mild southern Oregon climate to grow French grape varieties. An entire itinerary could be built around the 18 wineries in the surrounding Applegate Valley and the 100-plus wineries in southern Oregon.
A trip to Jacksonville plops a weekend visitor in an ideal location for day trips. Drive 90 minutes east to spectacular Crater Lake National Park or 30 minutes south to take in a play at Ashland’s renowned Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Or enjoy Jacksonville’s Britt Festival, a summer concert series that draws the likes of Willie Nelson and The Decemberists, and is held on the bucolic hillside grounds of the former estate of pioneer photographer Peter Britt. Be sure to head uphill to Jacksonville’s Historic Cemetery, a slice of 19th-century history that’s brought to life during summertime guided tours, which tell the sometimes tragic stories of Jacksonville’s dearly departed.
As might be expected, lodging in Jacksonville takes advantage of the town’s architectural history. Turning 100 this year, the TouVelle House Bed and Breakfast boasts modern amenities (free Wi-Fi and private bathrooms) amid Craftsman details and furnishings. Rent the entire historic Judge Hanna House near downtown for a glimpse of life in the 1870s at this little-changed wood-frame Victorian home, where air conditioning means open-ing the balcony windows on summer nights. —ALISA WELCH

> BAGGING THIS STRENUOUS TRAIL is a seri-
ous hiker’s rite of passage. Gaining about 3,100
feet in just 4 miles, the trail is epic enough
to merit bragging rights—and the love of the
100,000 people who hike it each year, accord-
ing to the Washington Trails Association (wta.
org). Many who summit Mount Rainier train
here first with loaded packs. Get an early start
to find a parking spot and set off on the initially
gentle 1.5-mile climb to the old-growth stand
known as Snag Flat. From there, settle in for
some serious huffing as you ascend another
steep 2 miles to the talus slope that many mis-
take for the summit. Linger here for stunning
views of Mount Rainier, then take the stone
steps over the rocks to your right and follow a
brief stretch to the trail’s end, where you’ll see
views of the valley below, the Olympics beyond
(and the occasional mountain goat in summer).
Discover Pass required. K. R.

MOUNT CONSTITUTION
> HERE IS A MOUNTAIN TRAIL
that is so iconic, it’s actually world-
famous, and for good reason: Those
who complete this high-altitude
5.5-mile loop at the base of Mount
Rainier are rewarded with stag-
gering views of mighty glaciers,
tumbling waterfalls and subalpine
meadows that burst with wildflow-
ers in August—and often, the antics
of hoary marmots. Pick up a trail
map at the Paradise visitor center;
the network of trails here offers
multiple opportunities for diver-
sion, intentional or otherwise. Then
choose your direction: Most take
this hike clockwise, but counter-
clockwise offers fewer crowds and
an initial switchback stitch through
a colorful meadow. In either direc-
tion, you’re in for a climb, but also
unparalleled views of the 14,410-
foot volcano and its 50 shades of
glaciers. At 6,800 feet, arrive at Pan-
orama Point and stand awestruck
before the 360-degree view of the
Tatoosh Range, Mount St. Helens,
Mount Adams and (on a clear day)
Mount Hood. Avoid crossing the
steep snowfield to the east—those
who do miss some of the best views;
instead, take the High Skyline Trail
to the north. K. R.

> THE HIGHEST POINT in the San
Juan Islands is also a Northwest clas-
sic that delivers spectacular vistas of
the Cascade and Olympic ranges, the
Canadian Gulf Islands, Vancouver Is-
land and all of the San Juans. Pick up
the fairly strenuous trail at the Moun-
tain Lake trailhead inside of Moran
State Park, then wind steeply upward
through old-growth stands of western
hemlock and Douglas fir. The first
mile is the toughest—a relentless
uphill slog—but after that, you’ll me-
ander along, puffing up switchbacks
and scampering down to little stream
crossings, occasionally popping out
of the trees to encounter a staggering
view. Reach the top and climb the
45-foot-tall stone tower to take in the
sweeping 360-degree views. Take a
selfie with Mount Baker resplendent
over your shoulder; if your smile is
a little smug, who can blame you?
You’ve just gotten a righteous work-
out, and there’s nothing but downhill
between you and that sweet post-hike
meal in nearby Eastsound. Discover
