DAN WEBBER - GENRE FLUID (WORK IN PROGRESS) Being constantly told you're a comic at poetry nights and a poet at comedy nights can be very confusing, as is the pressure to define yourself and your work. Genre Fluid is a study into labels in everyday life, in the arts and in the lgbt+ community. "Sentimental musings on self, mental health, masculinity, appearance, and place, all delivered with a playful and occasionally giddy appeal."
