Cowboy
Yee-haw! Featuring a mesmerising original score composed by Ben Ely (Regurgitator), set in an imagined sweeping landscape of a classic old western, Cowboy is an interactive, solo contemporary dance work.
How does one have a genuine and meaningful experience as an imagined self?
From surfing trains to taming horses to wandering the desert, this work unpacks your ability to have a complete, genuine, and meaningful experience as an imagined self.
“I am deeply consumed,
I am deeply committed,
I am becoming,
A Cowboy.”
