Peter Leung is a choreographer and stage director whose work moves fluidly between dance, opera, music theatre, and digital media. Trained at The Royal Ballet School, he danced professionally for over fifteen years with the Bavarian State Ballet, Dutch National Ballet, and Ballet de l'Opéra de Lyon, working with choreographers including Jiří Kylián, William Forsythe, Mats Ek, Saburo Teshigawara, and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.
Since transitioning to choreography and direction, Leung has built a body of work defined by curiosity about how disciplines meet. In 2016, he created Night Fall for Dutch National Ballet, the world's first virtual reality ballet, described by De Volkskrant as "a key moment in dance history." From 2017 to 2020, he served as the company's Young Creative Associate, developing digital and interdisciplinary projects alongside the traditional repertoire.
Leung's interest in cross-disciplinary collaboration took root early: in 2010, he joined Furthur Labelz, a collective spanning literature, dance, music, and film. That work, alongside dancing the principal role in Ton Simons' Romance, created with photographer Rineke Dijkstra as part of Dutch National Ballet's Dutch Doubles programme, shaped the conviction that would grow into House of Makers, the interdisciplinary collective Leung co-founded in 2012, formalised as a foundation in 2020.
Leung is a co-founder and Artistic Director of House of Makers, whose work has included From the Sun's Perspective, created with and for a mixed-ability cast and audience. Independently, he has also led Waves of Will, a research project developed with former dancer Breanna Olson, exploring how brainwave technology can restore artistic agency.
His work as a director extends into opera and music theatre, including productions for the National Youth Orchestra, the Dutch Radio Choir, and the International Bach Festival in Gran Canaria. He has created work for Philharmonie Luxembourg, New English Ballet Theatre at Sadler's Wells, the Fukuoka International Ballet Festival among others. His solo for Michaela DePrince was shown at Boston Ballet, as well as being featured in Brandi Carlile’s music video ‘The Joke’.
Leung holds a first-class honours degree in Business Management from The Open University, studied part-time alongside his creative practice. He teaches and coaches internationally, including at the Dutch National Ballet Academy and, from September 2026, at the Royal Conservatory, The Hague.
