Making of a Man

A person sits on a white cube in front of a projection of two large shirtless action figures. The person is wearing a white shirt, wide gray trousers, and white sneakers, and extends one arm to the side, appearing to touch the figure on the left.

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 embodied performance to question the rigid codes of manhood. With silicone abs, shifting voices, and a highly physical presence, Orton explores vulnerability, identity, and the performative layers of gender. Described as smart, subversive, and touching, Making of a Man challenges the binary with humour, insight, and care.
