Peter Stathas Dance creates highly physical, nuanced work that explores the physical boundaries of bodies and space with an emphasis on storytelling and human connection. The repertoire consists of works created in the past and reinterpreting them with a fresh perspective. Peter’s new work is a true collaboration between himself and the artists within the company. He creates a safe space for the dancers to be part of the story because without them there is no story to tell. This results in the melding of ideas, thoughts and expressions and ultimately a complex and deeply connected performance.
