FINAL BOWS 😢

After nine seasons with Olympic Ballet Theatre, Rowan Catel and Carlos Narvaez are taking their final bow with the company. While we are saddened to see them go, we are incredibly grateful for the artistry, dedication, and kindness they have brought to OBT since joining the company in 2017.

Beyond their performances on stage, Rowan and Carlos have contributed greatly to the sense of community within OBT. Whether it was helping new dancers feel at home, organizing post-performance celebrations and gifts, or simply offering support and encouragement to their colleagues, they have been mentors, friends, and leaders to many within our company.

This evening, they perform in Beth Twigs’ Our Tender Distance at the Seattle International Dance Festival alongside fellow company dancers and trainees.

Join us in celebrating Rowan and Carlos as we look back on some favorite moments from their nine years with OBT. ❤️

Do you ever wonder, “What are they saying?” 🧐

Ballet is full of pantomime and storytelling through movement — but sometimes it’s hard to catch every detail. So we added subtitles to this scene from Act I of Giselle to help bring the story to life.

Here, Giselle meets Bathilde, a noblewoman visiting the village with a hunting party. Giselle is captivated by Bathilde’s beautiful dress and kind demeanor — unaware that Bathilde is engaged to the man Giselle has fallen in love with.

You’ll also see Berthe, Giselle’s mother, warn Giselle not to dance because of her fragile heart, an important detail that foreshadows the tragedy still to come.

Dancers: Elianna Langley as Bathilde, Yasmin Arafe as Giselle, Sophie Powell as Berthe
