Peter has been involved with Punchdrunk for his entire professional career. In 2000 he graduated from Exeter University and went on to become a founding member of Punchdrunk. He was pivotal in establishing the company’s early work during their rise to critical acclaim and global success. 

In 2008 he co-founded Punchdrunk Enrichment and led the development of Punchdrunk’s signature practice in community and educational settings. Since 2016, he has been joint CEO of Punchdrunk’s charitable arm and in 2021, as the charity rebranded as Punchdrunk Enrichment, Peter became Artistic Director. 

Peter’s early work with Punchdrunk Enrichment focused on primary educational settings. Working with a core team of Punchdrunk creatives, these projects established a formula for the company’s  practice and importantly uncovered and demonstrated a need for this type of intervention. 

Since these early beginnings Peter has led on all of the company’s artistic activity spanning family shows, participatory performances, ambitious R&D experiments in digital technology and international collaborations. Peter has a powerful belief in the transformative power of engaging with the arts and creativity. He believes in the power of  imagination as one of our greatest tools and has witnessed how access to immersive experiences can unlock our innate creativity.
