PETER CHU is an award-winning multi-faceted movement artist, embodying roles from director, choreographer, stager, mentor, educator, and performer. His ongoing curiosity informs his voracious appetite for learning across contexts. As a biracial Asian American born in the Bronx and raised in Cocoa Beach, Peter often craved a deeper understanding of his Chinese identity. From a young age, his interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine was a gateway to that. Chu’s career spans over three decades across both concert and commercial dance industries, nationally and internationally, pre-professional to professional, and beyond. Some notable credits include performing with Ballet Jazz de Montreal, Crystal Pite’s Kidd Pivot, and Celine Dion’s A New Day, and choreographing for Ballet Augsburg, Cirque du Soleil, DART Dance Company, Gibney Dance Company, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Paul Taylor Dance Company, and more. Additionally, Chu finds great pride and belonging in his project-based company chuthis., where he feels free to explore the deepest parts of his identity and artistry as a director, choreographer, and educator, with his team.
