Performance artist and gender activist Diane Torr has appeared on stages around the world as a drag king, performing male characters inspired by philosopher Judith Butler's theories of gender performativity. Now she holds workshops for other women in which they develop their own male characters and live as men for a day in an attempt to better understand the dynamics of gender in contemporary society.
MAN FOR A DAY brings us inside Torr's workshop in Berlin. The artist guides a group of open-minded women from diverse backgrounds-an Angolan single mother, an Israeli lesbian, a young German beauty queen, among others-through the theoretical underpinnings of her work, and helps them develop male characters of their own.
Insisting that each participant ground her character in observation, Torr takes them out to the streets of the city to watch men, noting their gestures, their gait, and their sense of ownership of the world they walk through. From these models, the women develop personas for their own characters.
Torr then helps them transform themselves: adopting the gestures and physicalities they observed, locating appropriate clothing, and concocting a voice for the character. The women then venture out into the world, travelling among strangers in public spaces, and visiting their own families, as men.
A practical, hands-on exploration of some of the key theories in gender studies, MAN FOR A DAY is an investigation, as serious as it is playful, of how masculinity and femininity are constituted today.

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.999
Good evening, gentlemen, walked
into the American Society of Man.
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.999
The American Society of Man was established
in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in 1989,
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.999
as an organization that
would protect and preserve
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.999
the rights and privileges of men.
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.999
Now these aren’t any ordinary
rights and privileges.
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.000
These are God ordained.
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.999
(inaudible) about the half of the
American society of men to train you,
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.999
and how to gain and
retain respect as a man.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:58.000
[music]
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:23.000
[sil.]
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.999
I just want to say that this week, it’s
going to be such an exciting week.
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.999
And I’m in sort of a joy
that you could all come.
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.999
Eventually, it’s happening
and I’m (inaudible). And
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.999
this workshop, I started
teaching in New York in 1989,
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.999
and the workshop is not
about becoming a man
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.999
instead of becoming a woman,
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.999
it is really about becoming more.
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.999
And… and therefore it will be empowering for
you because you will have more options.
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.999
Okay, maybe some of you
are having difficulties
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.999
thinking how is this going to happens,
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.999
because we all look so female, no.
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.999
But I would just like to say that the whole construction
of identity is something which is it’s created,
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.999
it’s not something that happens
naturally, whatever naturally is. Umm…
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.999
So just as we are constructed as women,
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:40.000
we could also be constructed as men.
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:53.000
[music]
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.999
Do you have any quills(ph), do you
know what you’re going to be?
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.999
Are you just, so just go
and try some things up.
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.999
I like people to make their own decisions about
kind of male clothes that they want to choose
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.999
because that triggers something
in their imagination
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.999
about the possibility to be more.
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.000
[sil.]
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:35.000
[sil.]
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:50.000
[sil.]
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:33.000
[sil.]
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:05.000
[sil.]
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.999
I’m a fashion designer. I have done
menswear for quite a long time. And
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.999
myself as a man is an idea that I have had
before, but I’ve never really practiced it.
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.999
Some people think I’m very tough.
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.999
Somehow… somehow they get
certain idea about me
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.999
which has nothing to do with why. I mean, it always makes me
laugh because they see me, and they look like I can, yeah,
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.999
if I’m in a tough looking day,
I can be very, very tough that
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.999
I’m such a sissy.
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.999
But some people reading between
the lines like my partner
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.999
who looked into my eyes. And
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.999
she got the answers from there.
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.999
She was reading the advertisements. And she
said, \"Oh, this is so you. This is so you.\"
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.999
And I thought to myself, there is something
about it that is really mean. I mean
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.999
the times that I want to look very
feminine, I look like a drag queen.
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.999
And… and I mean somehow
it’s like really extreme,
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.999
very aesthetic as well. Umm…
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.999
On the other hand, I have this morning’s that I
would like to look more masculine I like the…
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.999
I think it’s really sexy somehow.
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.999
It’s great. You need to think about…
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:55.000
[sil.]
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:58.000
[sil.]
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.999
[sil.]
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:48.000
I like the jacket. Try it on.
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:50.000
[sil.]
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:25.000
[sil.]
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:40.000
[music]
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.999
When you changed into the men’s clothes,
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.999
you looked at yourself in the mirror.
And you think, \"Who am I?\"
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.999
(inaudible). And then when
you go on the street,
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.999
you look to see if you find this man,
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.999
you can maybe recognize him in the way that he is
walking or the way he’s buying something in the shop,
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.999
or the way he’s drinking a coffee or smoking a
cigarette, you can say, \"Oh, this is my man.\"
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.999
This is your detective work really.
You all have to be detectives in…
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.999
in finding your man and in how you take
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.999
the character, take him onto
yourself and become him.
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:38.000
[sil.]
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:30.000
[sil.]
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:45.000
[sil.]
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.999
Man required an easy spectacle
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.999
because they’re not used to being watched.
Uh… They’re used to being spectator.
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.999
So if it’s there a good study, you
know, it’s… it’s easy to study men.
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.999
[sil.]
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.999
I love observing people, seeing
what gestures and movements
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.999
that I can pick up and
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.999
use in the creation of some new character.
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.999
You know, I don’t use the stuff
disrespectfully, it’s just material
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.999
just like somebody who’s a painter or who’ll
be looking at a color or looking at a shape
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:39.999
that they could include in a painting,
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.999
just as being a woman is about a
performance, being a man is a performance.
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.999
Gender is something, it’s just
a repeated series of gestures.
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.999
[sil.]
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.999
[music]
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.999
It’s good? Yeah.
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.999
Okay, so now is the arts and crafts
part of the workshop, when we
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.999
all get to make our own penis and really you need
to decide how big your penis is going to be.
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.999
There is a condom here which I have used,
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.999
and then you fill this up with cotton wool,
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.999
that’s the penis. Okay.
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.999
[sil.]
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:39.999
Okay, this is the little bump that you have
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.999
which makes me a man. Okay, now I’ll
demonstrate the breast binding.
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.999
You want to cover the…
the nipples first here.
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.999
And if you could, maybe hold this for me.
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.999
Then when you start going around,
and it should be quite tight,
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.999
but not so tight that you can’t breathe.
Keep going.
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:09.999
Voila!
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.999
The breasts have disappeared, where
did they go? Right, oh, yeah.
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:23.000
[sil.]
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:38.000
[sil.]
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:50.000
My God!
00:19:55.000 --> 00:20:03.000
[sil.]
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:58.000
[sil.]
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.999
I just wanna to tell you, we all look really good. There are some
very basic things you need to learn before you go homeless man,
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.999
because people will look at you like who is this
person. So you need to learn some behaviors.
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.999
And umm… the first thing I’d say is that
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.999
you need to learn not to smile. Men generally
they don’t smile unless as a need to smile. I…
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.999
I know how this man smiles.
You know, he’s a semi smiler.
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:55.000
[sil.]
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:25.000
Oh, okay, very good session.
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.999
I think when they go out in the
street for the first time as men,
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:39.999
it’s in that situation that they find out what they don’t
know if you like and what they need to figure out.
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:48.000
[sil.]
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:05.000
[sil.]
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:18.000
[sil.]
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:39.999
[music]
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.999
I was playing around with ideas of
gender throughout the ‘80s. And in 1989,
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.999
I was invited by Annie Sprinkle who wanted to use
images of me transforming from female to male
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.999
in a photo shoot that she was doing.
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.999
I had an appointment to
go to the Whitney Museum
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.999
to the opening of the biennial, and the
photo shoot just took so long that
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:09.999
I had to leave in drag and
go to the museum and drag.
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.999
And that’s when I discovered that the world
really does treat you differently as a man
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.999
for the first time, I was amazed
at this very crowded room
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:24.999
suddenly parted and allowed
me to walk through
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:29.999
and that never happens as a woman.
You’re, you know,
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.999
walking along the street of Manhattan, you’re
always stepping aside to let a man go past.
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:39.999
But certainly for myself, I discovered
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.999
that I could pass as a man.
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.999
And it was through this experience that I realized it could be very
interesting if women had this possibility to see themselves as men.
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.999
[sil.]
00:25:55.000 --> 00:26:00.000
[music]
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:09.999
What kind of a man (inaudible)
you know, do you have an idea?
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:15.000
Okay.
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:45.000
That sounds good. Good
place to start anyway.
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:43.000
[sil.]
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:08.000
[sil.]
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:45.000
[sil.]
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.999
[sil.]
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:25.000
[music]
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:34.999
[sil.]
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:39.999
So when you walk, you have a feeling that your
foot owns that piece of floor underneath it.
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.999
This is uh… this idea of ownership
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.999
is very much included in a male identity,
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:54.999
a sense of ownership and umm…
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:59.999
positioning yourself having uh…
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:04.999
I own this piece of floor for the
minute it rests. My foot rests there.
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:09.999
Men tend to have a lot of their
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:14.999
energy focused on the
upper part of the body.
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:19.999
Often their hips are really tight and held,
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:24.999
but the upper body is where
most of the strength is.
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:29.999
Everything you do from now on is as a
man, okay? So if you move the chair,
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.999
then you’re going to move the chair as a man
would move the chair. So I might imagine
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:39.999
that my whole shoulder girdle
has all kinds of little
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:44.999
sacks of sand in them.
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.999
It’s a sense of owning this chair.
I own the chair
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:54.999
and that will give a sense
weightedness in the upper
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:59.999
body that I don’t normally have.
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:04.999
[sil.]
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:09.999
His gestures, clear,
defined, specific, forceful.
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:14.999
He meant what he said, a man of power.
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.999
[sil.]
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:24.999
And when he moved his eyes, his
eyes only moved with his head.
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.999
So when he looked to the left,
his eyes moved with his head.
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:34.999
[sil.]
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.999
And when he look to the right,
his eyes moved with his head.
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:44.999
And when he looked up,
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.999
his eyes moved with his head.
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:54.999
And when he looked down, his
eyes moved with his head.
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:59.999
Never move your eyes independently with that,
you just need to know shifting is a character
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:04.999
and will not confer you
with respect that you
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:09.999
as men is wrong.
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:14.999
I perform Danny King who is a composite
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.999
of male stereotypes.
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:24.999
It’s not like I want to be that man, but I, you
know, I think that you can subvert their authority
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:29.999
because I’m not really him. (inaudible).
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.999
You know I’m a woman,
and I’m performing him.
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.999
Danny King specially runs the
workshop because he represents
00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:44.999
a man who believes in the
innate superiority of men.
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:49.999
And therefore his behavior and
his body language reflects that,
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.999
and this gives…
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:59.999
Because he’s so extreme, because that when we who do the
workshop a sense that even this extreme is possible.
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:04.999
He’s an anachronism, but at the same
time he’s still with us, you know.
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:09.999
Look around any company
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.999
where you have man in charge,
you’ll find Danny King.
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:23.000
[music]
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:29.999
[sil.]
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.999
Hi, I’m Danny King, very good
to see you guys here today.
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:39.999
I’m coming from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I’m married. I’ve got three kids.
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.999
My wife pretty much takes care of the kids.
And I… I look after them, you know,
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.999
Saturday, I might take
the kids to the park.
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:54.999
My wife, she gets a break, you know,
she gets to sleep in. I’ll make them
00:34:55.000 --> 00:35:00.000
some pancakes for breakfast.
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:19.999
Uh… My name is Marco, I’m 35.
I came to Berlin
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:24.999
because the Israel was always
too small somehow. And
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:30.000
I’m homosexual, not in a
relationship, I enjoy life.
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:05.000
[sil.]
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:20.000
[sil.]
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:54.999
[sil.]
00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:59.999
We’re gonna send our voices to the center of
the Earth, that’s the idea as we do this.
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:04.999
Uh…
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:09.999
Uh… Uh… Uh…
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:14.999
I think the women really need to practice this. They need
to practice having a loud voice and stop being ashamed.
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:19.999
[sil.]
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:24.999
It’s something that they had no
problem with when they were babies
00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:29.999
to have a loud voice. And
then now that they’re adults
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.999
uh… they whimper.
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:39.999
[sil.]
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:44.999
This is really a great martial art
for women in this system because
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:49.999
you… you… if you have a loud voice, you can catch
you’re opponent, somebody who’s attacking you.
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:54.999
You can catch them off guard.
I think that if…
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:59.999
if you’re going to play
this guy Ramos, then
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:04.999
give yourself the chance to have somebody with
that loud voice so that you can… Practice that.
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:13.000
Arsehole.
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:29.999
[sil.]
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.999
This idea of self-defense
of how to how to umm…
00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:39.999
how to protect myself was something
that I learned very early on to be
00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:44.999
very observant of male behavior.
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:49.999
Growing up with a father who
then became an alcoholic,
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:54.999
and he was also quite violent. He
would have these blackout periods
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:59.999
where he would be lashing out at us, and then
later on he wouldn’t remember anything about it.
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.999
And it was terrifying to
live with a man like that.
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:09.999
And I could feel the glue
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:14.999
whenever he was around. I
knew when he was home.
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:19.999
Ultimately that experience was the
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:24.999
beginning of an exploration if
you like that I’ve continued.
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:30.000
[sil.]
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:40.000
[sil.]
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:14.999
My expectation was \"Oh, as a
man, and I’m free. I’m strong.\"
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:19.999
And I experienced, \"Oh,
as this man I’m not.
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:24.999
So did you, I mean continued
with your observations.
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:29.999
Okay, well…
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:34.999
To create another character, needs to (inaudible) observation
because otherwise you’re just a woman with men’s makeup on, and
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:39.999
what purpose does that serve, you know?
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:44.999
I don’t really want to stay in that character
so long because I find it very uh… exhausting.
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:49.999
And they don’t really
like this guy so much.
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:54.999
I don’t like man, I am either, but part of the process
of becoming a man is to get rid of all your female
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:59.999
distinctions, your judgments
that you have as a woman
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:04.999
and take on a male persona which often is… is… No, I
don’t the way that I’ve here is this guy Danny King,
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:09.999
it’s not how I behave as a woman.
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:14.999
And as a woman, I… I would probably not even spent any
time with this guy. But part of this process is to really
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:19.999
separate yourself from who you are as a
woman and become somebody else completely.
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:24.999
[sil.]
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:30.000
[music]
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:39.999
It’s not really about being
the best man if you like.
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:44.999
It really is about being able
to get out of the women role.
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:50.000
For a lot of women, this is very hard.
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:39.999
I mean the reality is that
everything is visible.
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:44.999
So if you have bracelets that are female
than people will notice that for instance.
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:50.000
And if you have female fingernails
that becomes clear as well.
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:14.999
Okay, keep going.
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:20.000
[sil.]
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:40.000
[sil.]
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:55.000
I believed this character. I believe him.
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:04.999
And… and this whole thing of uh… being so thankful to
everybody that we invited you and then speaking personally
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:10.000
blah, blah, blah. It’s…
it’s idiotic somehow.
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:19.999
You do some things like that men do which is
sort of lifting up the heels, letting them drop,
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:24.999
and it sort of emphasizes. I’m
here, you know. I’m important.
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:29.999
And that’s part of the male gender.
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:34.999
Self-satisfied. Sure.
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:39.999
It is about you inheriting
this idea of significance
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:45.000
which as a woman is very
difficult to achieve.
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:58.000
[sil.]
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:05.000

00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:45.000
