PNB Unleashed

A new website created by PNB dancers offers a cutting-edge, behind the scenes glimpse of Pacific Northwest Ballet and company dancers' journey from the studio to the stage.

Pacific Northwest Ballet Principal dancer, Noelani Pantastico and her husband, Brady Hartley, conceived the idea of building a website that portrayed a more in depth, behind the scenes perspective of the lives of PNB dancers and the necessary steps to creating a successful performance.

"Dance is more ambitious than the physical body and PNB Unleashed is a way to experience dance on another level," said Ms. Pantastico. "'Unleashed' will bring new spirit into the ballet world and show a lifestyle that should not be missed!"

Noelani Pantastico established the PNB Unleashed team of four, consisting of PNB dancers Lindsi Dec and Benjamin Griffiths, as well as her husband, Brady Hartley. The PNB Unleashed Team had been constructing the site for six months—structuring the site, retaining and editing video footage and pictures, interviewing dancers and PNB staff, as well as designing their own line of merchandise with its logo drawn by PNB Principal dancer, Casey Herd.

PNB Unleashed includes the following pages:
  • In the Wings—Highlights dancer's thoughts on upcoming performances.
  • Bulletin—Showcases dancer achievements, guestings, and personal websites along with an in depth interview with the company's Artistic Director and visionary, Peter Boal.
  • PNB Museum—Five photo albums feature the photography of Angela Sterling.
  • Backstage—What occurs in all departments of the ballet before the curtain rises.
  • Interviews—Dancers, choreographers, and PNB staff members share their thoughts.
  • A Day in the Life of...—A detailed account of one of our stars in their own setting.
  • Ask a Dancer—Advice and tricks of the trade.
  • Show Your Support—Purchase PNB Unleashed merchandise or make a donation!
All proceeds received from PNB Unleashed will go towards Second Stage and the commission of New Works for PNB.
