Peter Machajdík's interest in performing arts and in collaborations led him to compose music for ballet, theatre and contemporary dance troupes. In the late 1980s, he worked with Michal Murin and his experimental theatre ensemble Balvan. Early 1990s, he performed with the Swiss dancers / performers Dorothea Rust, Tina Mantel and Bruno Stefanoni, with the Bratislava-based Stoka Theatre, with Dutch dancer Marjolijn Sinke as well as with A dato and Auriga dance companies.
In the last few years Peter has composed music for New Trees Within Me and Black Tomcat, both created for the Banska Bystrica-based Štúdio tanca led by Zuzana Hájková, for the Žilina City Theatre, for Marta Poláková's DAJV Dance Company, and has performed with Petra Fornayová, Jaro Viňarský, and Daniel Raček. His 2014 project AREA with dancer Lucia Kašiarová has been shown in Austria, Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. In 2020, Peter's works could be heard in Kristina Borbelyova-Paulin's choreographies Marina and Orbit for the soloists of the Slovak National Theatre and the Hamburg Ballet.
