Each year, PUSHfest showcases a fresh lineup of mixed-genre dance choreographers alongside the PUSHfest Awards, which awards one choreographer from each program an honorarium and a recognition vote from the audience. PUSH Dance Company situates the festival at its Sanctuary home where residencies and PUSHLab, the educational component of the festival, reside. PUSHfest performances will be held at the newly designed CAST Black Box Theater and on the outdoor stage at The Parks at 5M (5M), thanks to our neighbors CAST (Community Arts Stabilization Trust) and 5M.
