CHRISTOPHER HARRISSON

Illustration, Animation, Writing & Theatre

Christopher is a multi-disciplinary storyteller based in Bristol, UK. He works mainly in animation and projection design for theatre, but his practice also spans writing, comics and performance. Driven by playfulness, all his work is unified by a desire to tell accessible narratives, in whatever form is most appropriate. His projects frequently touch on themes of myth, memory and the absurd.

Christopher has created illustrations and animations across multiple platforms, with commissions from organisations such as Sony and Selfridges. Animation and projection design for theatre includes Wendy: A Peter Pan Story at the Egg, Theatre Royal Bath, Bristol Old Vic show Outlier, his solo show The North! The North! and the Viking adventure Vinland by Jack Dean. He was a finalist in the 1 Minute Projection Mapping Contest, held in Tokyo in 2023. Recent animation projects include the computer games Great North Road (Jack Dean & Company) and Truth Sleuth: Thrills, Chills and Chemical Spills (Modest Genius Theatre Company).
