Male Body Image Concerns

It is a 90 minute, one-man show, and discusses the state of male body image and how damaging men can be tot their own bodies for the sake of appearance. The show consists of three stories, a gay college student, a personal trainer and a newlywed documentary filmmaker, who each participate in different destructive behaviours to alter their own bodies.

After the show, a 30 minute panel discussion will be held by Michael himself, along with a group of UCF (University of Central Florida) health experts and counselors. The audience will be encouraged to share their opinions and experience on the issues presented, as well as ask any questions.

Incorporated into the show is also a filmed documentary featuring interviews with men talking about what they secretly think about their bodies, from their cycles of obsession to what drives them to steroid and supplement abuse.

The show is being held on the UCF campus on Monday October 2, 2006. It starts at 8:00 pm in the Pegasus Ballroom of the Student Union Building and is free and open to the public.
