His boss at the time gave him a camera and taught him to load up the film. This was his first exposure to photography.
Diabolo Dance Theatre is, as the name would imply, focused on the diabolo, combining traditional Eastern skills with modern Western performing arts and integrating music, dance, nouveau cirque, multimedia, lighting, and visual arts technology to create a new generation of entertainment performance. Since its establishment in 1986, the troupe has toured more than 30 countries around the world and put on more than 3,000 shows.
