Push Dance Company (Push) under the direction of Raissa Simpson, melds music and media, deftly weaving intergenerational and inter-community voices to create a potent force that advances the idiom of dance.

Articulating details that run through the whole body, Push builds vibrant cross-cultural works to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges attributed to mixed heritage by using non-traditional dance forms. Edgy, sleek, and sexy, each moment generates a fresh perspective from intermingling diverse dancers in raw situations- aptly described as, “emotional and kenetic changes.” (Rita Felciano, SF Guardian) Showcasing rarely seen, discussed, or presented topics in public settings, Push provides an opportunity to examine issues that surround and affect us all.
