The Contemporary Male (2022) is a performance by four male-identifying dancers. Through movement exercises, meditation and exploration under guidance of a choreographer, they have translated emotions that come with being a male in contemporary society into movement. Using the body as a narrator instead of words, the performers reach the core of their emotional memory and with this transmuting a feeling to the audience, for body-language is understood universally, speaks louder than words and pokes deeper into the soul than written poetry.
This project is still in progress. The performance-film will be released in the summer of 2023.
