Crystal Pite | 2016 International Festival Portrait

My own best experiences as a performer have been those moments when I’ve forgotten everything else, I’ve forgotten myself, I’ve left my ego behind, I’ve left my fear behind, my doubt, and I’ve just been completely present and connected.

Choreographer Crystal Pite talks about how she became a choreographer and the intense joy that comes with being completely absorbed in the act of creation.

Crystal Pite choreographed ‘Emergence’ which was performed by The Scottish Ballet as part of the 2016 Edinburgh International Festival.
