ABOUTDavid Dragan, born in Sibiu, Romania, has dedicated the last four years to studies at Zurich University of the Arts. With a background in dance and theatre, David’s primary artistic focuses revolve around video and performance art.

David’s work is deeply influenced by the vitality and dynamism of their subjects. Their approach combines emotion with spatial exploration and expression, connected to the theme of the human body and the ways it manifests uniqueness among individuals.

In both of these creative mediums, their emphasis is on the interplay of movement and inner emotions. They explore themes such as queerness, freedom, and diversity, delving into the nuances of these concepts within the realm of movement and beyond.
