Dan Daw’s EXXY chronicles the performing artist’s formative journey from a working‑class childhood into a public spotlight. Set in the Australian outback, the piece blends physical storytelling and spoken narrative as Dan confronts impostor syndrome and a shifting sense of self‑worth through vivid, personal reflection.

This production features Dan Daw, co‑director (with Sarah Blanc) and lead performer, in collaboration with a trio of performers who echo his physicality and voice.

Developed and presented by disabled-led company Dan Daw Creative Projects, the piece is co-produced by Battersea Arts Centre as part of a New Dimensions commission. Its stagecraft emphasizes accessibility, with relaxed performances and integrated captions, reflecting the company’s mission to reshape non-disabled spaces through inclusive theatre-dance.
