PETER SCHMITZ has been involved in making creative projects and performing in various mediums of creative work for over 40 years.  Maybe you saw him perform in Dance Gallery's production of "Archives' (date?) on the top floor of Thornes Market, or in one of the numerous iterations of Roy Faudree's 'Elephant Man'.  Maybe you remember a pair of shoes he sold you when you shopped at Chona.  Maybe you don't remember.
