Making of a Man
Quindell Orton (NL/AUS)

One dancer, a projection screen, a live camera, a set of silicone abs, and a question: How does a body 'do' masculinity?
With plenty of humour, full use of media and physicality Quindell Orton explores masculinity, the male hero narrative, and the vulnerable aspects of masculinity. Who gets to 'do' masculinity and how, and what potential lies in unsettling masculinity's rigid codes? 'Making of a Man' starts out like a TED talk, navigating through pop culture, politics, and personal interviews, before becoming a more slippery exploration of the leaky containers we build for masculine identity.
