Upon the recommendation of his mentor Nila Claravall-Gonzalez, Crimson took classes with Philippine Ballet Theatre in Manila in 2012 and in 2014 he was invited to be a member of the company. With Philippine Ballet Theatre, Crimson performed in “Carmen”, “La Bayadere”, “Serye at Sayaw” (a compilation of dances), “Dancing In One Voice” (which incorporated live vocals by leading Filipino soloists) and “Sarangen Ni Bantugen” (a Filipino epic) and held the roles of Espada in “Don Quixote”, the Arabian Dancer in “The Nutcracker”, The Prince in “The Nutcracker”, Count Danilo Danilovitsch in “The Merry Widow” and Prince Desiree in “Sleeping Beauty” .

Crimson has choreographed various pieces including “Mga Babaeng Bayani ng Panay” which was commissioned for the Philippine Department of Tourism and performed at The Cultural Centre of the Philippines, Manila in 2013 and “Comfort Women” for the dance festival Pasinaya 2015 in Manila which was awarded a grant by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. In the same year, he also choreographed for the following choral numbers in The Canticle Singers’ production of ENCORE at Experimental Theatre, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur: “This Joint is Jumpin” (jazz), “Electricity” (a contemporary number from the musical “Billy Elliot”), “I Got Rhythm” (jazz) and “All the Things You Are” (contemporary number from “Very Warm for May”)
