"pink suits"
pink suits is a musical performance collaboration between artists Ray and Lennie. You can call us a band... pink suits #1 is our current research project exploring of the pressures and frustrations we feel with the gender roles we are expected to play within our partnership, and how we resist these roles. How does our gender influence the way we are viewed as a couple. Lennie is male, Ray is female. Are we a ‘straight’ couple? We don’t identify with this or any sexuality, we don’t believe in monogamy, we don’t believe in marriage, so are we a ‘queer’ couple? What does that even mean? Lennie wears ‘womens’ clothes. Ray wears ‘mens’ clothes. We share clothes, but this is not drag. Ray wants to shave her head and is jealous that she can’t grow a beard. Lennie wants to grow his hair long and hates the phrase ‘Man - Bun’. We are frustrated that our bodies are treated so differently. Why can one of be topless in public and the other cant? Why is there pressure for one of us to shave but its cool for the other to be hairy? Why is it easier for one of us to be openly promiscuous? The research seeks to resist gender roles and the expectations that are attached to us and the inequality society places on our bodies. Through music, text and dance we will explore our bodies, how are they different, how are they similar, how are they read differently in public space or different clothes. We will share the space, share our clothes, share our frustrations and our fantasies.
