After having spent a lifetime being an inspiration to others, Dan is finally seizing the moment to inspire himself. Taking ownership of the beautiful mess that encompasses all that he is, Dan 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 and collaborator Christopher Owen (Joe Moran, Scottish Dance Theatre) where Dan takes back the power by being dominated on his own terms. Nominated for the 2021 National Dance Awards, and directed by Mark Maughan (The Claim, Petrification), 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.

Pre-show Access

Pre-Show Access is free, available at every show, and open to anyone that would benefit. The session is hosted by members of the production team and is responsive to the needs of individual audience members. For more information, click here.

A white man with a mohawk and moustache sticks his head out of a black box whose walls of black latex slightly trace his body shape. He speaks into a microphone that stands in front of him in a small stand. His box has wheels.
