PUSHfest honors diversity in dance, and audiences have the opportunity to experience distinct perspectives on dance at one of the Bay Area's leading performance venues. The Festival comprises two programs featuring choreography by artists currently active in different disciplines of dance including modern, ballet, hiphop, ethnic, and multidisciplinary. This exciting new season will feature three world premieres, including Mothership (Part I) by Artistic Director Raissa Simpson, new works by Resident Choreographer Katerina Wong, and PUSH Dancers Ashley Gayle and Noah James, and performances by local artists and visiting artists from Chicago and St. Louis.
"I'm thrilled to be presenting artists all of whom are either new to us or making their San Francisco debut with PUSHfest," says Simpson. "Since its inception three years ago, PUSHfest has become a cornerstone of our annual season through which I am especially proud to showcase different dance styles." Simpson announced expanded programming this year through the launch of PUSHLab, a performance workshop for pre-professional artists who will be selected from an audition process this summer. For five weeks, PUSHLab participants will immerse themselves in a creative process culminating in Wong's third piece for the Company and a new work co-choreographed by PUSH Dancers Ashley Gayle and Noah James.
