Peter Wright has been a dancer, choreographer, teacher, producer and director in the theatre as well as in television for over 70 years.In Wrights & Wrongs, Peter offers his often surprising views of today’s dance world, lessons learned - and yet to learn - from a lifetime’s experience of ballet, commercial theatre and television. Peter started his career in wartime, with the Kurt Jooss company. He has worked with such greats as Pina Bausch, Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf Nureyev, Marcia Haydée, Richard Cragun, Monica mason, Karen Kain, Miyako Yoshida and Carlos Acosta - as well as today’s generation of starts including Alina Cajocaru, Marianela Nunez, Natalia Osipova and Lauren Cuthbertson. While now regarded as part of the British ballet establishment, for many years Peter developed his career outside London, particularly in Germany with John Cranko’s Stuttgart Ballet. That distance gives him a unique and unrivalled view on ballet companies. His close association with choreographers Frederick Ashton, Ninette de Valois, founder of the Royal Ballet, Kenneth MacMillan and David Bintley gives Peter an authoritative perspective on British ballet. Wrights and Wrongs includes black-and-white photographs from Wright’s career, and as Exeunt magazine comments: ’Anyone with an interest in British ballet will find plenty to occupy them in Wright’s book... the many dramas and delights of his life in dance spring forth from the page with brio.’
