Christopher studied at Rambert School from 1959 training under Marie Rambert before joining the company (then Ballet Rambert) in 1963, quickly becoming a leading dancer. He was Associate Director of the company from 1974 to 1979 and later performed as a guest with the company as well as serving as Associate Choreographer until 1987. Christopher was appointed Artistic Director of Rambert in 1994 and, after his retirement from the position in 2002, continued to stage work regularly for the company.
In addition to his career with Rambert, Christopher choreographed and staged work internationally. He was Associate Choreographer with English National Ballet from 1986 to 1991 and Resident and Associate Choreographer with Houston Ballet from 1989 to 2021.
Christopher has maintained a close relationship with Rambert School over the years and is deeply committed to nurturing and developing young dancers and choreographers in line with the School’s focus on creating the next generation of innovative, creative and individual dance artists.
“I have been part of the Rambert family for over 60 years and feel deeply honoured to continue my association with the School as a Patron. I very much look forward to contributing to the development of a school that has, for over a century, regularly produced remarkable dancers and choreographers who have, in turn, made an invaluable contribution to the world of dance”.
