"Creating is playing - because to create is to remember once again, that everything is possible! And that even if what we do at the moment is of the most extreme importance, it is just a game which can be changed!"
Peter Savel
Peter is since the beginning of his career interested in the connection between the social and the artistic. Researching movement not only as a pure mean of artistic expression, but in connection to social structures and anthropological origins. All this with a passionate contradictory character of his own. Combining a poet with a scientist, a disciplined craftsmen with a naive playful child, a pragmatic researcher with a dreaming explorer. His world is one combining emotion with structure, known with forgotten.
His work, like his personality, combines humor and seriousness, mathematical composition and its expressive impact, musicality and dance. But he never stops at the formal level. His work is filled with an urge to explore something human, the essence hidden behind the socially constructed structures.
Recognizing a social phenomenon, translating it into a purely physical language, he looks for ways to share with his public and students an actual experience. We can all recognize it`s archetypal origin, and yet through the physical abstraction are invited to connect to it through our personal history.
