Besides his experience as a performer, Thomas has been, since 2010, teaching juggling and artistic research around the world, while concentrating his efforts at ESAC in Belgium, and the Center of Circus Arts in France.

Very early, Thomas was interested by movement and he looked for links between juggling, dance and other arts to nourish his practice.
Thus, he developped a personal style, mixing juggling, dance and body shapes. Through this choreographic and expressive approach, he consideres juggling as continuation of the body and as a language with rythmic and harmonic variations.
