Making of a Man
One dancer, a projection screen, a live camera, some toned abs, and an attempt to answer:
How does a body ‘do’ masculinity, and how do our ideas around masculinity shape the world we live in?
Combining pop culture, politics, and personal interviews, Making of a Man is an exploration of hyper masculinity, masculine heroics, and the vulnerable sides of masculinity. It’s a look at the leaky containers we build for masculine identity, and the ways in which constructions of masculinity contribute to the drawn-out staying power of the patriarchy. How can we find other ways of being in the world together beyond the rigidly chiseled codes of masculinity?
