Most enjoyable experience on stage: Returning to the role of Paris in Romeo and Juliet for my dear friend Beatrice Parma’s debut as Juliet.
Proudest moment on stage: Being the first male dancer to debut as the wicked fairy Carabosse in The Sleeping Beauty in over 30 years after former Director Sir David Bintley, David Yow and David Morse.
Most important role: The Southern Cape Zebra in 'Still Life' at the Penguin Café – it’s been a dream role of mine since I first watched the video when I was 11 at The Royal Ballet School, White Lodge.
