His passion for ballet extends past performing, and since 1993 Olivier has also choreographed works for numerous companiesand schools in Canada, Japan and the United States. Collaborative efforts toward a common creative goal are what inspires Olivier most, a challenge he still enjoys, “I love the exchange of ideas, and human relations. Meeting new people and finding out that we can push each other's artistic and creative boundaries is very inspiring.”

As an artist, Olivier loves fashion, but he also needs movement in order to feel free, “Up until now, you couldn’t move in beautiful clothes.That’s no longer true with MPG. I feel comfortable, totally at ease, and I look amazing. MPG is going where no one else has gone.”

“It’s thrilling to perform. Feeling the adrenaline rush is very exciting, like you can go further than ever before. I can't imagine notperforming. It's who I am.

Mr. Wevers most recently founded Whim W'Him, a non-profit innovative concept in dance composed of collaborative performing and visual arts. He has been a friend and loyal messenger of MPG since our beginning, has appeared in many campaigns and has even art directed various MPG photo shoots.
