Having done both artistic and display gymnastics for nearly ten years in Scotland, Craig decided to combine these skills with dance and choreography by going into the world of circus. At the last minute he opted out of a computer programming degree and went to study at The Circus Space in London.

While expanding his existing skills he specialised in hula-hoop and experimented with classic hula-hoop styles with handstands and isolation. He has also done complimentary training in theatre, dance, voice and acrobatics.
In his time at the Circus Space he was produced many Hula-hoop acts including ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’, an unusual and unique take on the 'Wizard of Oz'. 'Beatles mania' which was performed in Hoxton hall in December 2007 as apart of the ‘So & So circus' cabaret.
His new 'Elvis act' performed was first performed at 'On the brink' at the Circus Space in March 2008. |

Before his time at the Circus Space Craig started Choreographing Performances for the Inverness Gymnastics display with teams ranged between twelve and fifty members at a time producing displays that were performed over Britain and Europe.
|
On his time on the Circus Space degree course he worked with Jessie Rose and Tiina Tuamisto where they created a hula-hoop ensemble taking into account there different styles created a different and unique style of hula-hoop act. Combining it with acrobatics, acrobalance and flowing sequences passing hoops from one person to another. Before long they named themselves Hoop La La and produced an impressive array of different acts.

Craig is available to perform a range of technical and stylised work and very interested in mixing his skills with performers in all areas of theatre, dance and circus.
