Toby Kassell is an artist, performer and co-founder of No Deadline. 
After graduating from the Royal Ballet School in London, he worked as a professional dancer internationally over a period of 26 years, in Zurich Ballet, Ballet de Santiago de Chile, Aalto Theater Essen,  Deutsche Oper Berlin, Komische Oper Berlin and Staatstheater Saarbrucken, as well as GöteborgsOperans Danskompani (2006-2020).  Over the years Toby has  developed his own improvisational approach, and through his current work at Balettakademien Göteborg, he is focusing on developing his own methodology of improvisation and performance strategy.
The direction of his work led composers Magda Mayas and Johan Jutterström to collaborate with him on their phD performances. 
Toby Kassell’s artistic practice focuses on the wordless communication between all performers in a work, and the breaking down of hierarchies between art forms which naturally happens as a consequence.
