"Emerald Bay" is an original ballet set in Bellingham Bay and the Puget Sound region in 1885, during the time of the Chinese Expulsion. Original choreography by John Bishop, libretto by Christopher Wise. The ballet premiered at Meany Hall in Seattle, WA on May 15, 2011 and was also performed at Mt. Baker Theater in Bellingham, WA on June 10, 11, & 12, 2011.

Act One, Scene Two: The Port of Fairhaven, pt 1

The scene changes to a bustling dock at the Fairhaven port in 1885. On one side of the stage stands Dirty Dan Harris's Hotel and at the other is a Chinese dry goods store. In between lies the "deadline" that Chinese people cannot cross. It is a busy day on the port with people from all walks of life going about their affairs, but soon the scene grows harmonious as dancers from diverse lands fill the port.
