Beautifully expressive mudras and the rhythmically complex footwork of Indian dance combine with the full body movements of modern, ballet and the martial arts. His recent creations are Zeros & Ones & Thread which is Roger's 3rd collaboration with Natasha Bakht. He recently finished a one-month tour of India in February with 5 cities 6 performances. Roger has participated in numerous commissions such as Tono of Red Sky Performance, which was presented in both the Beijing and Vancouver Olympics.
