BOFFO PERFORMANCE FESTIVAL FIRE ISLAND

Welcome to the inaugural BOFFO Performance Festival Fire Island 2015 a weekend of performance, music, and dance made for the island’s unique social and geographic context. In keeping with BOFFO’s mission of supporting challenging art and fostering dynamic social environments, we have invited a stimulating constellation of artists to produce new and adapted works for the island’s diverse public. Many of the participating artists are new to Fire Island. In commissioning them to present works in the festival, BOFFO affirms its commitment to engage and enrich the vibrant cultural scene of the island. We would like to thank all the artists for their participation, the Pines residents for their support and interest in the experimental practices BOFFO brings to the island and all the volunteers, hosts, and sponsors that have made this festival possible.
