Men in Dance Last weekend at this biennial event, they gave Anne Green Gilbert (founder of the Creative Dance Center) the first Lawrence Tenney Stevens award; this weekend one of her many students returns to Seattle to perform. Aaron Loux is a member of the Mark Morris Dance Group, and he’ll perform a solo by Morris on a program that also includes an appearance by Bill Evans, whose influence on the Seattle dance community can’t be overemphasized. Alongside these elements from local history is a work by Ted Shawn, one of the founders of American modern dance. It’s a 10th-anniversary program covering almost 100 years of dance traditions.
