Peter Leung is a stage director and choreographer. Stemming from a background in dance, his stage direction is deeply rooted in the body in relation to space and others. Music is the foundation of all of his work; it is the language that crosses the boundaries of all of the disciplines with which he creates.
Over the last few years, Peter has worked on a diverse array of projects, including music theatre work, opera, virtual reality, and dance. He recently directed A Circus of Angels with the Netherlands Radio Choir. This concert performance brought the individual qualities of the choir members to the forefront and celebrated the beauty in the absurd. Also, in 2022, he was the stage director for A New Dawn, a performance with multiple instrumentalists, a visual artist, breakdancers, and contemporary dancers. A New Dawn’s goal is to fuse the artists into a cohesive modular performance, where each edition can be remounted with different artists, creating a flexible and diverse performance work that explores the individual in relation to others. He also choreographed a duet for the Junior Company of Dutch National Ballet where the dancers, regardless of their gender, could assume the role of either dancer, breaking down the barriers between the dancers’ and audiences’ expectations of a male and female ballet dancer’s role in a duet. Peter is one of the creative directors of Foundation House of Makers, where he creates and facilitates new interdisciplinary work. One of the aims of HoM is to blur the boundaries of disciplines, inspiring a conscious and deep collaborative making practice.
