COWSHED LEGACY
Cowshed Legacy is a series of development programs to support Tasmanian artists to develop their work to be performance ready. The program will be delivered once only, in 2024, and aims to celebrate the legacy of Blue Cow Theatre in our final year of operation. The Cowshed Legacy Program will consist of two opportunities:
· Creative development support up to $10 000 per project
· Playwrights’s residency on Bruny Island 22 – 27 August 2024
DATED: December 2023
After a great deal of thought the Blue Cow Board has decided, given we were unsuccessful in our most recent funding application, to not reapply for any future funding.
We have worked diligently to develop a strong strategic direction for our company to support Tasmanian theatre makers and stories. However, without secure government support,professional theatre is extremely difficult.
Due to good governance and financial management we are in a position where we have choices on how we can appropriately celebrate our legacy. We are currently working on this and will make an announcement in the New Year.
We will be taking our final bow feeling proud of our reputation and respecting of the artists, partners and audiences who have supported us over the last 13 years.
It has been such a privilege to be able to do what we have done. Thank you for your wonderful support.
Best wishes
Lucinda and the Blue Cow Theatre Board.
