‘Hu-men’ transcend roles of brutes, wimps
By Andrew LaMar
Of IIm Knartld
Being a man requires transcending the
modern-day models of ‘’brutes” and
"wimps,” says Andre Carpenter, a
director of a local group attempting to
foster the growth of a “new” kind of
man.
Carpenter is artistic director of the
Human Dancing Company, a non-profit
educational organization recently
established in Eugene. The group has
weekly meetings to explore masculinity
and performs musical dancing shows to
exhibit it.
This new type of man, a "Hu-man.”
balances masculine and feminine
qualities, transcending “brutishness”
and "wimpishness, ” Carpenter says.
“The wimp is basically taking the
feminine all the way at the expense of
one’s masculinity,” Carpenter says.
"You deny altogether your masculine
faculties. And the brute is trying to keep
the feminine outside of himself. The
feminism that is knocking at the door is
disturbing him.”
Carpenter says that although there are
numerous types of brute-wimp im
balances, there are two main types of
brutes: one that totally denies feminine
qualities, and one that projects his
feminism onto an object or institution.
Rapists and batterers fall into the first
category, while most everyone else falls
into the second category, he says.
Men in the second category project
their feminism onto the family, the
church, the nation or some other institu
tion and then become fanatical in protec
ting it with their masculine qualities, he
says.
"It becomes a demonic possession,"
he says.
The Hu-men principle, however, in
volves more than just balancing
masculine and. ^feminine qualities.
Carpenter says. Being a Hu-man requires
taking a journey inside of one’s self to
understand tKa person within, he say$.
The Hu-men principle is being a
human being first and an American, Rus
sian qr whatever else, second, he says.
The same Hu-men principle applies
for women too. although it is more com
plicated, Carpenter says.
"Wo-man implies womb. So there's
the existence of the womb that does af
fect (women) all sorts of ways. It has
menstration every month. It does affect
them emotionally. It’s a whole long pro
cess before they can be totally whole and
balanced."
He insists that, although fundamental
ly different, women may also balance
masculine and feminine qualities and
become Hu-women.
"A lot of women... helped by the fact
of the feminist movement, are now
becoming Hu-women,” he says. "I find
it very relevant that there is a difference
(between men and women).. and that a
lot of it should not be mixed up.
Therefore men have to do it separately.
So I’m focusing on males at this time."
Carpenter has a variety of ways in
which he tries to demonstrate the Hu
man principle, but theater is the medium
he emphasizes.
"1 chose a craft of the stage. That's the
craft I know the best. So. I most often try
to manifest all this in stage form,"
Carpenter says.
Communicating what it is to he Hu
man on stage tokos a lot of imagination,
intuition and care, ha says, The perfor«
manco contains acting, dancing and
music — “total theater," he says.
Whan giving performances or
workshops Carpenter says he tries to
trigger something in individuals that
