Mustard worked with composer/performer Lindsay Vickery, who has premiered Mustard’s work in Australia, Singapore, the Netherlands and the U.S.
He is a regular performer with the theatre group "Playback Theatre" and has taught at the University of Western Australia, the WA Academy of Performing Arts, Edith Cowan and Curtin Universities.
In 2002, he was commissioned by Barking Gecko for their Festival of Perth offering -“Sarena’s Song”, Chrissie Parrott and the Link Dance Company’s season at the Playhouse Theatre in Perth and Dance House in Melbourne and for their tour of the Avignon Off festival for 2003.
In 2004 he was commissioned by TasDance to create the music for the dance work “Swimming the Luna Sea” that was premiered in Launceston in April and toured Hobart and Melbourne to much critical acclaim. Queensland University of Technology engaged Mustard and Parrott to premier their successful and critically acclaimed multi-media work “Dis-Patch”, which provided the basis for their invitation to the Monaco Dance Forum in 2004. “Dis-Patch” was voted by Dance Australia as the most memorable dance performance of 2004.
2005 saw the premiere of Parrott and Mustard’s “Baroqoda”, a work for 12 dancers, five musicians, video and electro-acoustic music, which toured later that year to the Tari Festival in Kuala Lumpur. In ’05 and ’06, Mustard premiered his new video-interactive pieces and again collaborated with Parrott to create their multi-media installation at the Moores Building – Fremantle WA, later remounted as "Metadance" for the Totally Huge New Music Festival in 2007.
