Dan Mussett

Dan Mussett is in residence at 4Culture in Bucharest. He is working on a new performance called Fully Automated Luxury Dancing! in which he invites local freelance dancers to each show to re-enact situations from a freelance dancer's life: auditions, classes, rehearsals. In doing so, it attempts to expose and pick apart the micro-politics of the art world, and to question the power dynamics inside it.
