Peter Nigrini, born in Toronto, began working with a group of colleagues in small avant-garde venues on New York City’s lower east side, and it was in this context that he first began experimenting with projection. His video designs include: Jean Genet’s Elle produced as the inaugural production of The Art Party starring Alan Cumming, the Tony award nominated, Say Goodnight Gracie at the Helen Hayes Theatre, Biro at the Public Theater, the world premier of Charles Wuorinen’s adaptation of the Salman Rushdie novella, Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Blind Date with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Camille Neil Bartlett's adaptation of Alexandre Dumas fils' La dame aux camélias, directed by Kate Whoriskey, Sweet Bird of Youth, for David Jones at the Williamstown Theater Festival and the world premier of Frau Margot, an opera by Thomas Pasatieri. He recently completed Angels in America, an opera by Peter Eötvös for The Fort Worth Opera, and Fela!, a new musical conceived and directed by Bill T. Jones, and the current Broadway production of 9 to 5: The Musical.
