On One Condition
Growing up in rural South Australia, Dan Daw first set foot on the stage when he was 12. Knowing no limitations, he then went on to forge an international career in London. Now 33, Dan takes time to reflect on the rollercoaster ride that has led him here... Drawing on stories from Dan's lived experiences, On One Condition asks us to question our own perceptions of normal while offering a bare bones, stripped back look at the world we live in.
We invite you into Dan's childhood home and on a journey overseas to share in one man's undying search for perfection, as he attempts to hold the world on his shoulders in all its beauty and grotesqueness.

Straddling the theatre and dance divide, Dan's work and overarching artistic approach supports that both “success” and “failure” are valid and interesting; that “success” and “failure” are actually the same thing and the difference between them arises through the perception of an audience.
