Peter Sciscioli is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary performer, creator, educator, and producer whose work encompasses dance, music, theater and film. Since 1997 he has been creating performance works through a choreographic lens with a wide variety of collaborators throughout the world. He has worked extensively in various capacities with Meredith Monk, as a member of Jane Comfort and Company, with Daria Faïn, and appeared in films, dances and operas by Jonathan Bepler/Matthew Barney, Ping Chong, DD Dorvillier, Susan Marshall and Philip Glass/Mary Zimmerman, among others. Peter has taught his approach to Voice as Movement in countries from Mexico to Bulgaria, co-initiated The Sounding Body workshop series at Movement Research (MR) in New York, and currently offers private lessons and coachings in person and online. In 2012, he founded the International Interdisciplinary Artists Consortium (IIAC), a network of artists and producers working across disciplines and cultures. He has been grateful to receive support from MR’s Global Practice Sharing (GPS) program to support projects in North Macedonia, attend meetings with partners in Eastern Europe and the Caucuses, and to help bring several artists from the region to the U.S. to participate in an annual IIAC residency and the recent Interdisciplinary Arts Lab. Peter otherwise continues his work and research at home, virtually and abroad.
