Moving Arts is the first to perform the work outside of the NW Dance Project (2010) in Portland, OR. The work won both the Sadler's Wells Global Dance Prize in 2011 and the Audience Prize at the 25th Hannover International Choreography Competition (Europe's most established competition). The work was performed as part of the London 2012 Olympic Arts Festival with Sadler's Wells Sampled. The piece was performed at the Hannover Opera House in Germany to standing ovations.

Kristopher Estes-Brown, through his unique aesthetic, creates theatrical productions that are an experience beyond dance.
