Peter Chu (he/him) 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, and his compassion leads him to generously  share his wide range of experiences and knowledge with others. Chu’s passion for the arts and  entertainment drives his vivid imagination and creativity throughout his work. 

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. Since then, his mere interest evolved into a deep  fascination that influenced and continues to inform his values as a human and creator. In  addition, being raised by his mother, a music therapist, profoundly influenced his rhythmic and  musical approach to making. All these interests and experiences are central to Chu's healing  approach to the creative process and how he guides and creates movement experiences and  spaces. 

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. 

Currently, Chu is based in Cocoa Beach, Florida, and travels frequently pursuing various  freelance choreographic commissions and teaching experiences.
