What does it mean to be a young man today?
For many young men, navigating identity, masculinity, and self-expression can feel like a challenge—especially when their voices aren’t always heard or taken seriously. But what happens when we create space for them to share their experiences, on their own terms?
Voicing Masculinities is a powerful outreach project in Bexley that gives young men aged 12-18 the opportunity to explore masculinity, identity, and social justice through creative workshops, live performance, and real-world impact.
Voicing Masculinities is Little Fish Theatre’s new production for young people, exploring mental health, masculinity and the pressures facing boys and young men today.
Developed through stories, ideas, theatre and movement with, for and by young people in Bexley, the production opens up conversations about emotional wellbeing, relationships, peer pressure and the expectations around what it means to “be a man”.
