COWBOY is an experience that intersects movement and visual art in a rich fantasy world while navigating complex themes from our present society. This new work-in-creation, performed by a group of five, invites viewers to witness a radical yet accessible way of being - an augmented version of contemporary life. Toy ponies, herds of dancers, sad clowns and drag queens present an ecosystem in conflict. The raw, exposed, stylized edges will attempt to demystify, through movement, theatre and visual art, our cravings of desire and that which is romantic and impossible to attain. COWBOY asks the audience to decide where truth lies: heart, head or guts, and to use that decision as a frame through which to make choices about what to stand up for and how to come together. Navigation and collision appear in physical, visual and experimental ways - highlighting, in today’s political climate, an extraordinary need to smash into one another as a simple form of protest. Come join us during this age of desire. 

With much success, last October, we presented an in-progress showing at the DMAC theatre in NYC. With your help, the full-length version of this work will premiere in June 6 - 7, 2019 - NYC.

The money we raise goes towards artist fees, rehearsal space, administrative support, and the cost to secure a venue in which to perform. Your support is monumental and a donation of any amount (even sharing this fundraiser with friends) helps bring us closer to our needed goal. Now more than ever, we cannot do this without you. Every. Dollar. Counts.

Here’s the breakdown:

$1,500 covers the cost of renting rehearsal space in NYC (and performer rehearsal payment)

$3,500 for an intensive & crucial creation period 

$5,000 NYC premiere 

*All donations are tax-deductible when made through our fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas* 

We are asking you to join us in the creation of art and there is still so much to be done. Boy Friday is committed to creating work that is accessible & exciting & supplying top-notch audience experiences. It’s risky and it’s out of our budget! We simply cannot do this project without your support. YOU mean the world to us. Please consider helping us reach our goal.
