WHO ANDREW COLLABORATES WITH
World-class ballet companies, leading dancers, extraordinary collaborators, festivals/venues, conservatoires and junior companies.
Ballet is perhaps the most honest language we have. You cannot lie with your body in the way you can lie with words. It's a practice of radical presence in an age of distraction.

CASE STUDY
Growing up in the UK, has shaped how I consider ballet to be part of the progressive theatre, where music, dance, drama and design unite to communicate ideas and stories about the human condition and relationship.
Bringing fresh perspectives to classics like Cinderella reveals something about why certain stories endure across centuries and cultures, whilst exploring new titles and untold stories creates space for ballet’s expressive potential to fully resonate with audiences today.
I’m delighted; Andrew’s Cinderella will be on for the history books. It will set new standards for storytelling throughout the field of dance.”
Marcello Angelini, Artistic Director of Tulsa Ballet
