About the project

EXXY is about imposter syndrome – the clash between artist Dan Daw’s ambition to take up space and create the disabled-led work missing from large stages, and the self-doubt that has been imposed on him as a working-class, queer disabled artist.

This new work was commissioned by New Dimensions, supporting UK artists to develop large scale projects.

New Dimensions is a collaboration between Transform (Leeds), Battersea Arts Centre (London), Take Me Somewhere (Glasgow), Tramway (Glasgow) and Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts (Brighton).
