“Partita is a simple piece. Born of a love of surface and structure, of the human voice, of dancing and tired ligaments, of music, and of our basic desire to draw a line from one point to another.” - Caroline Shaw
“What else could I do but respond with a dance? Partita for 8 Dancers is both an interpretation of Caroline’s piece and my way of expressing gratitude for it. During the creation process, her Partita was both a map and a mentor for me. It showed me the route and cheered me on as I followed it. There were times I felt as if Caroline drew a line right through me, connecting me to her, and onwards to you. Her music rings true in the way that geometry does, in the way that love does. There are infinite ways to render it visible... here is one of them.”
“I am deeply grateful to the incredible dancers of NDT for their essential creative contributions to this work, and for their mastery and earnestness, which I find deeply moving. Thank-you to Renee Sigouin for helping me to build and sort the source material, and to David Pay for connecting me to Caroline Shaw in the first place. Thank-you to my dear design team: Nancy, Tom and Jay, who never cease to amaze and inspire me. And thank-you to NDT for giving me this precious opportunity to make something, and to share it with other humans in this potent space.”
- Crystal Pite
