Modern Day Cowgirl

The crown you wear that confirms the self, is buried in a place which works to contain you rather than free you. Identity is dead. What crown do you wear?

The world is very good at telling you who you are, and sometimes so are you. Modern Day Cowgirl challenges stereotypes, identity and introspection of the self. Through examining this stereotypical Cowgirl, we are forced to question our own image, brand or labels. Do we stay contained within a limited version of ourselves or break our own moulds which we inevitably fall into?

Cowgirl will traverse external and internal landscapes where her desert reveals the ever widening expansion of her mind constantly changing and shedding towards a metamorphic ego death. Cowgirl could not tell what nature had performed. Was it a baptism or a funeral? Was it her beginning or her end? Or are neither and both true like the desert, like Cowgirl, who is everywhere and nowhere. Where her final form never reaches its stop.

This one woman show is performed and choreographed by FRINGE WORLD Weekly Award Winner, Rebecca Thomas, bringing something new, raw and comically entertaining where the Wild West meets contemporary dance. Modern Day Cowgirl is a marker of belonging and questions the value we place on reputation. It’s time to step into the desert to continue unstitching, stripping and reconfiguring the soul.
