In 2014, Peter founded Theatrical Trainer, a non-profit research collective dedicated to social service, mental health, and wellness for artists across the country. They have taught body science, movement and theater arts at Drexel University, Moore College of Art and University of the Arts.
Peter’s research and opinion papers have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Philadelphia Gay News, The Mighty, and others. Their practice includes teaching as a motivational speaker, panelist, and conference workshop coach, where their passion in industrial psychology and organizational dynamics helps organizations engage in dialogues around diversity, inclusion, and emotional well-being.
Peter has also researched the effects of rejection and trauma on artists, ego functioning and their sense of confidence. They are presently teaching trauma informed practices at arts universities in Philadelphia as well as creating a theoretical model of practice for artists.
