AntiGravity® Founder and Innovator

In the early 1990’s Christopher Harrison, an entrepreneurial minded athlete, champion gymnast, snow-blader, street skater and college cheerleader turned Broadway dancer/choreographer had a vision of merging the athletic and the aesthetic. Mr. Harrison, always the trend-setter, understood the explosive nature of sports on stage and set out to combine the two. He also discovered that what was once unique to the circus could be reconceived utilizing athletes to create a wholly new movement vocabulary. He gathered fellow champions eager to let go of the “rules and regulations” of their sport and formed a performance company whose objective was to “challenge the limits of physicality”. Together, in NYC, they created new technology for jumping, flipping and flying. He aptly named the innovative team AntiGravity. Here is how they have influenced the movement revolution that ensued.

Over twenty years, AntiGravity’s outstanding work has flourished on the biggest stages, with the most popular artists and tastemakers of our day.
