How do you continue to value yourself when society doesn’t value you?

Dan Daw, a Queer, crippled dance artist, is feeling the pressure to stay at the top of his game after the smash-hit world tour of his last show, The Dan Daw Show.

Audacious, vulnerable and tender, Exxy (Aussie slang for “that’s expensive mate”) is about imposter syndrome and fluctuating self-worth. Set against the backdrop of the Australian outback, Exxy takes us back to where Dan began – working class, with very little – to reflect on how far he has come.

Joined by three performers who walk and talk like him, Dan is comforted by the possibility of finally being able to blend in after a lifetime of standing out.
