Anthony Dwight Peebles

Anthony Dwight Peebles is an Artist-Educator, working within varying mediums and media. His work investigates the relationships between the spirit and space, the black body, sexuality, and society, and the urban experience. Weaving together these artistic intentions through dance and movement, writing, painting, education, and song, his work speaks to a diverse audience and to varying communities.

Originally from Chicago, Illinois and currently living in New York City, this celebrated educator, dancer and artist has taught and performed in the UK, Amsterdam, Paris, Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, and throughout the continental US. His performance and arts-education work stem from a belief and commitment in the knowledge that all human beings, and especially young people, have a voice.
