What does it mean to be male in contemporary, western, society?
For ‘The Contemporary Male’ (2023) four male-identifying dancers have researched this question through movement meditations and verbal exploration, to then translate their emotions into movement. Using the body as a narrator instead of words, the performers reach the core of their emotional memory and with this transmuting their feelings straight to the viewer. For body-language is understood universally, speaks louder than words and pokes deeper into the soul than written poetry
