Chris, please can you tell us a bit about your journey of how you got into the performing arts industry?
Chris Houston: I started as a gymnast when I was young and my coaches saw I had talent for dance. From there, I started taking dance classes, then I decided to take processional dance classes. I moved to London to train, and the next thing you know, I’m doing it as a career, not a hobby.
