Kidd Pivot:
The Tempest Replica


Friday, September 21, 2012 8:00PM
Power Center


Tickets Not Available for this Order






Integrating movement, original music, text, and rich visual design, Kidd Pivot’s performance work is assembled with recklessness and rigor, balancing sharp exactitude with irreverence and risk. Kidd Pivot’s distinct choreographic language, which fuses classical elements with the complexity and freedom of structured improvisation, is marked by a strong theatrical sensibility and a keen sense of wit and invention. The Tempest Replica is based on motifs from Shakespeare’s play. Artistic director Crystal Pite stages a game of revenge and forgiveness, reality and imagination. Canadian Crystal Pite danced with William Forsythe’s Ballett Frankfurt and serves as associate choreographer of Nederlands Dans Theater. Her company has been based in Vancouver since its founding in 2002.

“Pite’s as energetic as a sparkler and fluid as quicksilver.” - Ballet Tanz
