I am a foetus.
I am born.
I am a man now.
I do man things now.
But also I twirl.
And that is where I hold all of the beauty
that men have been denied.
I AM A MAN NOW!
‘I am a man now!’ is a dance drama piece about the parts of our identity that get left behind in our needs to follow gender etiquette. By drinking from the traditions of skirt wearing warriors and exploring the aesthetic and flow of the skirt, ‘i am a man now!’ deconstructs the ideas of what masculinity looks like.
Welcoming the audience to contemplate the parts of ourselves that go silenced by the choices that we don’t freely get to make.
