Trinidad’s Carnival Designer

Outlook

Available for over a year

Carnival in Trinidad is among the most spectacular in the world. Every year, thousands of 'Masqueraders' dance through the streets of the Capital, in fabulous costumes. At the heart of this is Peter Minshall who, for over 30 years, has designed and choreographed dozens of these vividly flamboyant productions - as well as three Olympic opening ceremonies. This year after a ten year absence, Peter Minshall came back to Carnival - this time with a stilt dancer - called `Dying Swan - Ras Nijinsky in Drag as Pavlova.' He spoke to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s Nicki Paxman. Image: Peter Minshall - Trinidad's carnival designer Credit: Mark Lyndersay
