On relocating back to London he set about creating new work as part of Blow Up Theatre taking shows to the Edinburgh Festival and touring the UK. Early roles in TV and Theatre kept him afloat as did teaching movement in many of the UK's top drama schools until he was cast as part of the original company of ENRON produced by Headlong Theatre.
