Peter Pucci - Choreographer and Movement Director

Peter Pucci creates movement. With extensive credits in theater, ballet, modern dance, and dance education, Peter is one of the most sought-after choreographers working today.

As a Movement Director, Peter’s work has been seen at major regional and New York theaters in a wide range of productions – from contemporary dramas and musicals to classics from Shakespeare, Chekhov and Molière. His broad-based understanding of movement in performance has carried his creations beyond the stage to film, television, commercials, industrials, fashion shows, ice-skating arenas and opera houses.

As a Choreographer, Peter is the director of his own company, Peter Pucci Plus. The company performs annually in New York, counting among its many performances six appearances at the Joyce Theater, combined with extensive tours throughout the U.S. and Europe. Peter has also choreographed ballets commissioned by dance companies in this country and abroad, including the Joffrey Ballet, Ballet Hispanico, Alberta Ballet and The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.

As an educator and innovator, Peter has created an audience-accessible piece that has become an event unto itself: Pucci:Sport. For nine action-packed “innings,” a company of talented athlete/dancers turns the games of baseball, frisbee, hockey, basketball and more into a pumped-up entertainment enjoyed by dance lovers and sports fans alike. As a vehicle for outreach, dance education, and just-plain-fun, Pucci:Sport has been performed in venues large and small, from city playgrounds to Madison Square Garden.
