AT A TIME WHEN younger, emerging choreographers are getting most of the attention elsewhere, the Pacific Northwest's fall season is highlighted by new work crafted by experienced and supremely talented hands. In Portland, Oregon, Gregg Bielemeier, whose sure touch with the outrageous and the poignant is expressed in movement that comes from the heart, presents Poodle poodle, popular breed of dog probably originating in Germany but generally associated with France, where it has been raised for centuries. There are three varieties, differing in size only. Farm: CityBoy Born in a CountryBoy's Body. It's his first evening-length work in four years, with dancers Jae Diego, Joan Findlay, and Dorinda Holler and singers Lyndee Mah and Lisa Miller (September 13-15 and 20-22 at Conduit Studio Theater, Portland, OR; 503/221-5857).

With the 1983 Set and Reset and part three of Brown's stunning 1999-01 jazz trilogy, the program provides a chronological sampler of the influential Brown's work (October 2 at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall; 503/245-1600). British choreographer Ronald Hynd's ballet version of the Franz Lehar operetta operetta (ŏpərĕt`ə), type of light opera with a frivolous, sentimental story, often employing parody and satire and containing both spoken dialogue and much light, pleasant music. The Merry Widow waltzes into Seattle for the first time to begin Pacific Northwest Ballet's twenty-ninth season with what Clive Barnes described as a "wonderful mix of vulgarity and gossamer charm." There is plenty of vulgarity around, but charm these days, especially on the ballet stage, is at a premium. PNB's dancers have become a highly versatile lot, performing Hynd's very English style brilliantly in his Sleeping Beauty two years ago and again in spring 2003 (September 26-28 and October 3-5, Mercer Arts Arena; 206/441-2424). In Vancouver, British Columbia, Lola Dance, directed by Lola MacLaughlin, whom critic Kaija Pepper calls a "magpie magpie, common name for certain birds of the family Corvidae (crows and jays).

The veteran choreographer, who considers her roots to be in the work of Merce Cunningham and Alwin Nikolais, with some influence from Pina Bausch (whom she observed in Wuppertal), has been presenting her modern-based, fully theatrical work since the early 1980s (November 19-23, Vancouver East Cultural Centre; 604/251-1363).

Dance Umbrella (September 10-14), London, England; 44-208-741-5881 or www.danceumbrella.co.uk The 2002 edition of Britain's biggest, best-known dance festival kicks off with a real coup: the world premiere of a work by Merce Cunningham.

Theatre co-commission is a new venture with Paul Kaiser and Shelley Eshkar (designers of BIPED) and Marc Downie. The "motion-capture" technique will be used to generate animation and imagery that will add Cunningham's own presence to the stage. BITE hosts two repertoire programs September 10-14, while the following week the company sticks around for a full series of residency activities at The Place. Umbrella will continue through November 3, with performances that globe-trot from Belgium (Charleroi Danses/Plan K, Rosas) to Brazil (Deborah Colker), from Israel (Inbal Pinto) to Spain (Mal Pelo).

Biennale de la Danse (September 10-29), Lyon, France; www.biennale-de-lyon.org Terra Latina is the title and Latin America the source of Lyon's tenth Biennale. A titanic, tumultuous twenty-day program features dance from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chili, Colombia, Costa Rica; Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela, plus a half-dozen French choreographers offering their take on power and politics in southern climes. Potential highlights include a Mexican tribute to pioneer French filmmaker Georges Melies; a Brazilian street-dance group whose members make their living as mechanics, bakers, locksmiths, maids, and the like; and a Peruvian "scissors scissors Cutting instrument or tool consisting of a pair of opposed metal blades that meet and cut when the handles at their ends are brought together. Modern scissors are of two types: the more usual pivoted blades have a rivet or screw connection between the cutting ends dance" with origins dating from the sixteenth century. The Biennale has more than performances on the agenda. There are three public balls themed around colors: red for salsa, black for tango, and white for Brazil (in honor of an African water goddess feted each new year in Rio and the Northeast). The Defile has been a regular feature of the Biennale since 1996. Held this year on September 15, this Sunday afternoon dance parade traditionally draws huge crowds. EU Dance Festival (October 11-12), Valletta, Malta; www.contactdancecompany.com Malta, that much-invaded Mediterranean island nation, is about to have its first-ever dance festival. Does it matter that it will last only two days and feature just three performances?

PROMISE AND PROVOCATION will be everywhere during the fall months in Northern California. Of dates to remember, Oct. 8 assumes pride of place.

Previewed at Princeton's McCarter Theater in June, The Show is a hyperactive danced melodrama, a bastard offspring of the modern dance paradigm that defies its matrix with a heady dose of lip-synched dialogue. The action centers on Baryshnikov as a latter-day Achilles, military hero and dallying demi-god, trying to outwit out·wit tr.v. out·wit·ted, out·wit·ting, out·wits 1.

Beginning with his powerful gesture-laden opening solo, Baryshnikov connects with Move's movement vernacular like a hacker perfecting identity theft.
