Award-winning PUSH Physical Theatre has been called “a cross between fine art sculpture and the hit movie The Matrix.” but its co-founders currently (and with tongue firmly in cheek) characterize it as: “like regular theatre…but more painful.” Its physical feats can be awe-inspiring, but the cherry on top of this acrobatic sundae is PUSH’s ability to grab hold of audiences’ emotions through exceptional visual storytelling. Following their sold-out run at Geva Theatre Gevas’ Artistic Director, Mark Cuddy, said, “By far, their performances…were the highlight of the entire (Theatrefest) season. They are a treasure.”

Students will never forget their experience with PUSH. The narratives of our lives played out with hope, strength and optimism. They’ll remember how each part of that experience is tied to a learning objective in the classroom. PUSH Physical Theatre discovers the potential of young imaginations, guides children in creative, expressive movement, experiences the joy of living and the wonder of the world around us, and builds confidence and healthy esteem by maturing self-identities in a safe and nurturing environment. They are a national company that has appeared on PBS and NPR advocating for art education. Watch a virtual performance at www.pushtheatre.org
