[1] Since its formation in 2002 Kidd Pivot has toured extensively around the world, presenting several works, many of which have received awards and accolades from the international dance community.
The company's first full-length piece, Uncollected Work (2003), features Pite and fellow Canadian dancer Cori Caulfield in two sections: Farther Out and Field: Fiction.
Farther Out explored "philosophical poetics and high camp of science fiction: the danger and thrill of limitless possibility, the beckoning of uncharted territory".
[3] The company's subsequent piece, Double Story (2004), co-created with Richard Siegal, "integrate[s] text, puppets, and goofy masks,"[4] foreshadowing the puppetry that features in Pite's later work.
Two large mirrors set on stage aid the narrative of reflection and perspective by literally flipping as Siegal's choreography ends and Pite's begins.
[4] Elements of deconstruction and breaking down the fourth wall are also used as the two performers would drink water, speak to each other casually, and physically move set pieces intermittently.
Kaija Pepper of The Dance Current said the following about the piece: "Lost Action, however it is understood or experienced by the crowds that filled the theatre (the last four performances were sold out), is a major work of art.
Judith Mackrell of The Guardian commented that "Pite has a rare gift for orchestrating bodies, part of the tension in Lost Action comes from wondering how she can top each new invention.
[17] Das Glashaus, performed by Cindy Salgado and Yannick Matthon, was accompanied by a symphony of broken glass, put together by longtime composer and collaborator Owen Belton.
Jermaine Spivey and Sandra Marin Garcia performed as caped superheroes struggling with ordinary relationship problems, involving double identities and comic elements.
[17] At the beginning of her research for The Tempest Replica, Pite intended to use film noir as her inspiration but found they lacked "enough humanity and spirituality".
"[18] When Pite became an artistic associate with Sadler's Wells in 2013, the theatre afforded her the opportunity to re-stage The Tempest Replica where the revised version premiered in 2014.
[20] At the 2015 Pan American Games Kidd Pivot premiered Betroffenheit, the company's first collaboration with Canadian actor Jonathon Young.
[21] Split into two acts, the first places Young in a trapped in an industrial-style room representing his own mind where the text he wrote and recorded himself loops several short phrases like, "What happened" and "What do we say" over a PA type system.
[21] The dancers each represent both kinds of distractions and internal demons, portraying showgirls, tap-dancing clowns, and other characters performing a Vegas-style floor show just for Young.
The individual member salaries of all Kidd Pivot employees and collaborators are then matched by the company and the total is donated to various carbon offset projects.
Using the money raised from 1Day for the Climate, Kidd Pivot has specifically supported 350.org, The Sierra Club BC, and the David Suzuki Foundation among others.
