The Dan Daw Show

Dan Daw returns to Sadler’s Wells after curating a Wild Card evening in 2017 questioning our understanding of success and failure. In this new production, Dan Daw is unburdening himself of any notion of expectation. After having spent a lifetime being an inspiration to non-disabled people simply because of who he is perceived to be, Dan Daw is finally seizing the moment to inspire himself.

By taking ownership of the beautiful mess that encompasses all that Dan Daw is, he lets go of who he once was, to make room for who he wants to be.

Dan is joined in an intimate evening of play by performer Christopher Owen (Joe Moran, Scottish Dance Theatre) where Dan Daw takes back the power by being dominated on his own terms.

The Dan Daw Show is a peep into the shiny and sweaty push pull of living with shame while bursting with pride. This is a show about care, intimacy and resilience, about letting go and reclaiming yourself.
