Description Dan Daw explores the intersection of 'normal' and 'abnormal' through the lens of his ‘otherness'. Working with innovative choreographer Martin Forsberg, designer Jenny Nordberg and lighting designer Guy Hoare, and inspired by the confronting images of photographer Joel-Peter Witkin, disabled performer Daw has created an intimate and hyper-theatrical spectacle that licks the eyeball of normality while charging down deviant neurological paths visiting sexual vertigo, expectation, intention and effect.
