When I watched The National Ballet of Canada perform Crystal Pite’s Emergence last year, I was mesmerized by the choreography.  So, when I saw that she’s performing out west over the next little while, I thought I should definitely let everyone know.  She’ll be performing her newest work, Dark Matters, in Calgary and Edmonton over the next two weekends. 

Having only seen one of her works up until now, I don’t feel equipped to talk much about her choreographic style.  I can say that watching her work for the ballet company was exciting, and I really love the way she thinks about movement, and what moving the body can constitute.  I look forward to watching more of her stuff in the future.

For now, those of you out west check her out! She’s in Edmonton tomorrow, at the Citadel Theatre, then Vancouver at the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre on February 26 – 27.

Check out Kidd Pivot’s website for more info on them, and on Crystal Pite.

I found out about this performance through The Dance Current’s Destination Dance ~ Danse website, a great resource for dance performances in Canada.
