??a balance of the intellectual and the sensual; she moves audiences with her delight to be dancing.?
? Hour (Montreal)

Vancouver dance sensation Crystal Pite and her company, Kidd Pivot, premiere a new work for six performers. Created with chaos in mind, this new work celebrates Pite's signature distortions of scale and perspective, strong theatrical sensibility and phenomenal technique. Pite celebrates the mighty individual with this new dance, connecting to her subject through her ?uncanny ability to take abstract intellectual ideas and give them vivid physical form? (The Georgia Straight.)

Pite's work integrates original music, text, rich visual design, and a keen sense of wit and invention. A celebrated dancer, choreographer and now company leader, Pite is poised to become a powerhouse global dance artist.
