Chris's aspiration is to bring dance, motion picture and live theatrical performance into a new era. It is a great pleasure for Piccolo Productions to work with this dynamic, young and distinguished artist.
"Experimentation is needed to evolve an exciting vocabulary of
dance, which is unique in flavor and moods and becomes the vessel on
which the very essence of the production is carried. Drawing from my
varied career as a performer and choreographer, with experience from
classic musical theatre to cutting edge dance performance and stunning
high level acrobatics, I envisage a fusion of styles which is both
pleasing to the eye and astoundingly singular."
