As an artist-in-residence at CAMPO in Ghent, he (co-)created several internationally touring performances, including Still Standing You (2010), Jake & Pete’s Big Reconciliation Attempt… (2011), and So You Can Feel (2014).

He began choreographing in 2016 with It’s in the Small Things (KVS), and later worked with Carte Blanche (2018) and the Iceland Dance Company (2019). He has collaborated with Meg Stuart (Cascade), Lisaboa Houbrechts (Vakepoes), and Sweet & Tender Collaborations (Attempts of Togetherness, 2025).

In 2022–2023, Pieter received a Flemish Community grant to explore breath as a source of movement and stillness in performance. He is currently collaborating with Michael Schmid to create performances centred on breath.
