About Me
Peter Trotman is a performer known for his unique physicality, heightened by graphic verbal abilities and a wry wit.
Based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia, he was a member of Al Wunder’s Theatre of the Ordinary from 1982 – 88. Following this emerged a fruitful and intensive 13-year period of research and collaboration with Andrew Morrish. Together, they performed in Australia and overseas to considerable acclaim. This period forged many of Peter’s ideas about improvisation, dance, and language.
Now predominantly a solo artist, with the occasional collaboration, he continues to explore his curiosity into the potential for both movement and text to emerge with rich vibrant form in the present moment of performance .
An ongoing aspect of his work has been the progressive evolution of a map of developmental strategies and forms, always searching for what is useful, clarifying, challenging, and generative.
