An opportunity to practically engage with Dan Daw Creative Projects’ (DDCP) approach to making work. Working with directors Dan Daw and Sarah Blanc, participants will use improvisation and text to generate choreographic material, starting with key themes of individual and collective resilience - taken from DDCP’s latest work EXXY. The workshop will include moving, writing, conversation and being in community.

Who it is for

This session is aimed at performance artists / makers who exist on the fringes and, for whatever reason, have felt like they don’t quite belong.

Supported by SICK!

About Dan Daw Creative Projects

Dan Daw Creative Projects (DDCP) is a disabled led company who are leading the way in creating accessible international touring work that blurs the lines between theatre, dance and activism, alongside creating systemic change in institutions and the sector for d/Deaf and disabled artists and audiences through long-term partnerships and residencies.

Based in the UK, Dan Daw Creative Projects have presented their work at British Dance Edition (UK), Swedish Performing Arts Biennale (SWE), Sydney Festival and Rising Festival (AUS), Kampnagel and Sophiensaele (DE), SoHo Playhouse (USA) and Sadler’s Wells and Battersea Arts Centre (UK) amongst others. From 2023 – 2025 the company is in residence at Kampnagel, Hamburg as Agents for Change, exploring what accessibility looks like across a venue, including programming, residencies, audience experience, capital development and human resources.

 DDCP’s work explores what it means for disabled bodies to occupy, and be unapologetic in, non-disabled spaces. Our mission is to use the arts to provoke change and reclaim space. We use dance, theatre and activism to educate, inspire and advocate for those who’s lived experiences are similar to our own.
