This project seeks to use innovative performance methods to investigate current discourses of masculinity in the UK. My primary aim is to employ interactive participatory theatre practices from Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) to examine, and intervene in, toxic masculinity. Considering the current socio-political phenomena present not only in the UK but further globally - where sexism, homophobia and xenophobia are rampant - extending our knowledge of normative masculinity is of the utmost importance. Exploring the various tensions arising from traditional models of 'being/doing man' represents a complex issue for scholars wishing to research hegemonic masculinities. The current project offers a novel methodological approach. Together with groups of young men and a Scottish based theatre company, Active Inquiry, I will develop an interactive theatre performance from Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed (TO). By working alongside young men, I aim both to analyse how one can make sense of issues surrounding masculinity and to further explore the value of TO as a means of conducting qualitative research.

这个项目旨在使用创新的表演方法来调查目前在英国的男性话语。我的主要目的是采用互动参与戏剧的做法，从波尔的剧院的压迫（TO）检查，并干预，有毒的男性气质。考虑到目前不仅在英国而且在全球范围内存在的社会政治现象-性别歧视，同性恋恐惧症和仇外心理猖獗-扩大我们对规范男性气质的了解至关重要。探索传统的“存在/做事的人”模式所产生的各种紧张关系对希望研究霸权男性气质的学者来说是一个复杂的问题。目前的项目提供了一种新的方法。我将与一群年轻人和一家苏格兰戏剧公司Active Inquiry一起，从Boal的被压迫者剧院（TO）开发一个互动戏剧表演。通过与年轻人一起工作，我的目标是分析如何理解男性气质的问题，并进一步探索TO作为进行定性研究的一种手段的价值。
