Making of a Man

ABOUT THE EVENT

Deconstructing masculinity, one flex at a time

Making of a Man is a solo lecture performance by Quindell Orton blending dance, video, spoken word, and live camera to unpack how bodies ‘do’ masculinity. 

 Starting as a TED Talk and morphing into something more unruly, the piece journeys through pop culture, personal interviews, and dance to question the rigid codes of manhood. With silicone abs, shifting voices, and a highly physical presence, Orton explores vulnerability, gendered power, and the performative layers of gender.   

Described as smart, subversive, and touching, Making of a Man challenges gender codes with humour and insight.
