Peter Stathas Dance

Peter Stathas fell forward into the choreographic process early and naively in his dance career. As a young dancer, Peter found himself not connecting with much of the work that was being produced. This led him to start creating his own work even though he didn’t know much about being a choreographer. Peter started out working with slim budgets, peers that were willing to take a chance and limited opportunities. Many workshops and showcases later, he began to gain some support for his work. A few commissions led to further confidence, less fear and more belief. But it wasn’t to be. New responsibilities happened in his life, derailing his artistic aspirations. In 2016, at the age of 60, Peter found himself with a yearning to re-event the dance career he left behind. After conversations with trusted colleagues, Peter had the idea to form Peter Stathas Dance (PSD).
