After training at Ecole Jacques Lecoq, Christopher co-founded the award-winning Rhum and Clay Theatre Company, which he ran between 2011 and 2016. His physical training influences all the work he does - he is particularly interested in creating strong ensembles, captivating visuals and, above all, a sense of playfulness. A lot of his current theatre work involves animation and projection design.
