Lads is a performance piece that looks at queering masculinity in dance history, whilst questioning how class structures play a role in defining masculinity. The work reconfigures a dance battle between two figures wearing Adidas tracksuits, which sees each performer mould and move between sculptural poses from art and dance history. Through the performers’ movements and an accompanying sound piece created by Naoto Hieda using a movement responsive computer programme, the work seeks to shift traditional perceptions of time.
