B.C. funding shortage sends Pite to Germany: Her dance company gets more than $776,000 from Frankfurt, which will keep dancers employed for two years
Crystal Pite and her dance company are temporarily relocating from British Columbia to Germany because the choreographer was able to secure two years of steady funding for her company from the city of Frankfurt and its regional government.
Pite said that she has renamed her company Kidd Pivot Frankfurt RM in order to honour the two-year relationship with Kunstlerhaus Mousonturm, the theatre in Frankfurt where her company will be based through to 2012.
RM is the acronym for Rhein-Main, the metropolitan government in Germany for the area that includes the city of Frankfurt.
“We have an amazing two-year coproduction with a theatre in Frankfurt,” Pite said by phone.
