I was a physical being from the moment I was born. Growing up in Bolivia, South America until age ten, I climbed trees, ran in nature, took up gymnastics, skateboarding, inline skating, climbing, parkour and dance. Essentially, if I came across any way of moving that I hadn't tried before, I added it to my repertoire.

 

After a suggestion from a friend, I attended London Contemporary Dance School to study dance full time aged 18. Between 2006 and 2016 I danced with Hofesh Shechter Company, a dance theatre company based in London, where I met my wife - we now have two wonderful, energetic young boys. Since departing from the company I have taken part in many freelance projects and collaborations, toured with and taught for various shows, worked as a movement director, and have performed for hours and hours as a Gorilla in a life size animatronic suit, for commercials and live events. I have also starred as a creature performer in a few Feature Length Films, TV Series and Video Games, such as The Mummy, The Ritual and Pacific Rim: Uprising.

​

Over the past few years, I have taken a lean toward the acting side of movement, more specifically Performance for Motion Capture and Prosthetic Suits, monsters and zombie type things! Through my shift into that area, alongside being a full time homeschooling Dad, I realised I needed to create a new normal for myself. A normal that meant I wouldn't have to sacrifice fitness or mindfulness
for family time. A normal that meant I would never have to figure out how to fit in time to "get ready" for a job or an audition, because I would simply live ready for them.

​

It was through this process and through my innate desire to help others, that the New Normal Programme came into being. New Normal is for dancers, movement actors, creature performers, physical artists, suit performers, movement enthusiasts and all round health lovers, that want to stop "getting ready" and want to start living ready.
