Description of Work

This work is a creative exploration of notions of masculinity and male sexuality. Specifically, it explores the idea that male sexuality and gender exist on a continuum
and defy simple categorization. The script was developed using an interdisciplinary approach including traditional research into theories of gender and sexuality and fiction
writing techniques such as associative and stream-of-consciousness composition. In this way, a script was produced that indirectly refers to the notion of fluid sexuality whilst telling a dramatic story about two men who occupy very different places on the gender and sexuality spectrum.
