Hicks has practised the Brazilian hybrid of martial arts and dance capoeira,[4] as well as the Japanese dance-theatre form butoh.[5] He has said that he started to explore the physicality associated with these disciplines in a masked production of Oresteia (1981), directed by his mentor at the National Theatre, Peter Hall.[6] In 2016, he toured with Flute Theatre as Claudius in a production of Hamlet, who's there? written for interactive audiences.[7]
