About
Hi, I’m Peter and I make theatre.
I’m based in the North East of England. Over the course of my career I’ve tried to learn as much about theatre as I possibly can, and pour all of my knowledge into my work. Learning new skills to round out my theatrical practice, from direction, to acting and dance, and in sound design / music.
I make work myself, and with BrainSoup Collective.
In the past I've worked with State of Grace North East and Not So Silent: Dance theatre.
I've trained at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), The Northern School of Art, as well as internationally with Odin Teatret (Denmark), and Residui Treatro (Madrid).
Contact
Drop me a message if you would like to work with me on your project. Also, I do offer workshops in acting, movement and dance too.
Thank you
I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Definitely within 48 hours. If you need me for anything more urgent, don't be afraid to reach out to my socials (linked on the home page).

These are the soundtracks I've created for the shows that I have been working on. Click the artwork to go to the soundtrack.
