Overview

What does it mean anymore to be 'manly'? What maketh the modern man? In what better company could we find ourselves contemplating the future of masculinity than this motley crew: Joel Creasey, Kate Peck, Tim Blackwell, Peter FitzSimons and I-Manifest founder, Jo Pretymanto — em-ceed, heckled and harassed by none other than one Mr Chris Taylor.

When this lot get together at Giant Dwarf on Monday, April 18, they'll be talking about what it takes to, not only privately embrace one's individuality, but publicly express it, too. Along the way, all the mighty, masculine issues will be poked at — from what it means to be 'a man', to the complexities of having too much freedom, to fitting in yet standing out.

All monies raised on the night will go to I-Manifest, an organisation committed to encouraging young people to empower themselves through creativity and pursuing their passions. All genders welcome.
