Mark Morris Dance Group This most musical of choreographers is back in Seattle, with three works new to us (Jenn and Spencer, Crosswalk, and Words) and one more familiar (Pacific, also in the PNB repertory). Few people working today are as able to show us the internal logic of a dance as Morris-his choices feel both surprising and inevitable. If you know the score (like Felix Mendelssohn’s “Songs Without Words,” to which Words is set), you’re gobsmacked at how powerfully the movement is linked to it. If the music-to be performed live by the company’s MMDG Music Ensemble-is new to you, it will be forever associated in your memory with his choreography. (Through Saturday; Morris will also give a lecture at Kane Hall, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Free; RSVP required via UW World Series.) SANDRA KURTZ Meany Hall for the Performing Arts, UW Campus, Seattle, WA 98105 $10-$58 Thursday, March 5 – Sunday, March 8, 2015
