Laura Pawel Dance Company returns to the Chen Dance Center with the premiere of "Cloudy with a chance of rain." 

Repertory works on the program are Tete-a-Tete, a conversation in motion for Stacey and Laura, set to music composed by Gene Caprioglio and performed by the duet Barebones (Caprioglio on guitar and Dr. 88 on harmonica). Barebones also provides the music for the 2018 Sunset Beach, named after a section of Vancouver's waterside park where locals and tourists gather at sunset to enjoy the beautiful scenery of mountains, sea and sculpture.
 
The 2017 Plain and Fancy is danced to the cool jazz sounds of The Cecilia Coleman Quartet, on piano, bass, trumpet and saxophone. The Quartet also accompanies Comfortable Silence, a 2016 duet for two longtime friends.
