Cow and Covid19, don't Lose
Your Sh*t!
I started this project when the
pandemic struck, and the governor declared a quarantine
for all New Yorkers. It became very clear that most people
I knew had lost their job, and I wanted to help. I started
a website connecting artists out of work with people stuck
at home... bored and looking for something to do.
I had been looking to introduce
performance in my work for a long time, and I had developped
puppet characters with my boyfriend. I decided to use the
puppets as a way to drive traffic to the website, but the
puppets had other ideas. The
YouTube channel, called Cow and Covid19: don't lose your
sh*t, became my creative outlet. I hoped humor in dark
times could help us cope with the magnitude of the pandemic.
This is one of the last videos
I made, a spoof of Carmen, one of my favorite operas! Click
