Growing up in a musical household in rural Northamptonshire, Rufus cultivated his percussive, artistic and sporty skills from an early age. Prior to his training, he did the foundation course at The Oxford School of Drama, as well as The Actors Workshop in Bristol where he found his expressivity through creating work. He is a passionate mover, combining his history in street-dance and interest in pure movement, he has enjoyed leading the movement direction in his shows at OSD – he’ll use any excuse to body pop.
