Wee Man

Wee Man is a powerful and highly physical dance-theatre performance by award-winning choreographer Natasha Gilmore. Performed by an all-male cast of both men and teenagers, this candid and compelling work explores the shifting—and stubbornly static—rules of masculinity across generations.

With evocative sound by Luke Sutherland and text created with Kevin P. Gilday, Wee Man blends raw movement, humour, and honest storytelling to unpack the “rulebook” of male behaviour—from everyday pressures to darker, inherited ideals.

Wee Man is supported by Creative Scotland; The National Lottery Community Fund, Young Start; with thanks to The Work Room.
