EP 3 – THE ART OF… MASCULINITY
Join our guest host, drag sensation, Courtney Act, as she travels around the country to investigate the world of masculinity. Courtney wants to know: What does masculinity mean today. Will art provide answers?
By the age of 15, Courtney decided that masculinity wasn’t for her. Now in her 40s, Courtney is finally curious to explore this world.
From shooting paintballs and swinging the high line of a cabaret tent, to watching home movies with Courtney’s old man; this episode explores masculinity through a spectacular array of artists, including Parkway Drive front man, Winston McCall, sculptor, Billy Bain, burlesque performer, Fez Faanana and world-famous classicist Mary Beard. Will Courtney discover a newfound love of the masculine world?
