As a solo artist working with life-sized hypernaturalistic puppets he has played several times in Tokyo Japan, Thailand, Malaysia and Europe. Since 1999 he has worked as an actor with many a danish director and several companys. Since 1999 he teamed up with K. Ingimarsson for the first time and has on and off been involved in various functions such as e.g. acting and textworks in different performances. Kristensen is a sometime dj with a huge background and love for especially sampling, library music and soundtracks.
