About the Artist

With a Master of Fine Arts from the New York University Tisch School for the Arts, in Film and TV Production, Peter Brooks stands as a true creative visionary who weaves together teaching, spirituality, and advocacy, with heritage to create universally enjoyed experiences. As the grandson of the legendary Cab Calloway, Peter's artistic heritage is deeply ingrained in him. However, his creativity extends beyond filmmaking into the soul-stirring world of sound baths. When Peter combines these elements in a single performance, the result is a transformative, possibly life-changing, wondrous experience designed to foster kinship and well-being. Soundbath is a one-of-a-kind blend of sensory and emotional immersion through sound, creates feelings of bliss and relaxation. Peter’s experience, perspective, and presence this an important integration toward non-dominant norms, values, and narratives because it de-emphasizes the pervasive stress, fear and uncertainty that we experience. By reviving the primordial, he seeks inclusivity and resonance for all human beings. His mission is to reach the overlooked, unheard, forgotten, and unseen to return experiences and feelings which are the "lost elements" of identity. This should increase the individual’s creativity and expand their mental and emotional capacity.  It is the same experience as "healing" through comfort. By helping people experience deep relaxation they end up feeling better. Thus, and performance carries a profound public value and legacy that extends beyond the individual. These events cultivate a sense of community bonding and empowerment around shared values that are fundamentally human. As a touring artist, this is availableto enrich locations,non-profits, educational institutions, or any part of Maryland Government. Peter will further your mission, by introducing organizations to new audiences through a valuable and educational holistic experience of authentic healing and connection. Imagine a captivating performance where ancient traditions seamlessly merge with modern technology, creating moments of profound connection, healing, and inspiration. It's a sensory adventure, a pathway to mindfulness, a bridge to self-discovery, and a greater sense of community. It is uniquely American, transcendent, and points to a future where all people are one as it was in the past.     Entrainment is the Science behind Peter’s concerts, its an interplay between artistry and the human heart. Entrainment is like a profound elixir for the human spirit. It's he feeling of connectedness that arises during meditation, collaborative music-making, synchronized dancing, epiphany, etc. Essentially both halves of the brain's neural oscillations synchronize, and individuals experience a profound sense of unity and harmony. Peter calls it "connectedness". You are invited through the Touring Artist Grant to partake in this extraordinary experience of entrainment and feel that space where art and science converge to uplift the human spirit and create moments of profound connection, renewal, and depth.
