Each of his performance explorations bring together a multitude of elements including acrobalance technique, acrobatics, choreography, dance, improvisation, comedy, clown, character, story, narrative, acting technique and, most importantly, human interactivity.

In addition to a robust performance career, David has continuously created numerous educational curriculums for classes and workshops in a variety of related disciplines that have been presented through primary, secondary and tertiary school systems in Canada, Australia, Belgium, Holland, France, Germany and Poland.

While always maintaining a relationship with outdoor performance and spectacle, he has extensive experience as a Theatre Designer , Film Maker, Digital Specialist, Educator, Producer and Artistic Leader. He has developed learning processes that integrate on line digital education with an intensive live physical theatre training program. His work is an example of the kind of Digital and Physical convergence that 21st century technology was created to facilitate.
