His performances and videos have been presented in the United Kingdom and internationally in venues such as The International Cooperation Administration, London (1996), The Young Vic, London (2000), CCCB, Barcelona (2006), Tanzquartier Wein, Vienna (2007) and the Centre d"art Scenique Contemporain Lausanne, Switzerland (2009).
He has also been artist in residence at Sophiensaele in Berlin (2005), Camden Arts Centre London (2006) and Robert Wilson"s Watermill Center, New York City (2009).
