Dear Friends,

It is my pleasure to announce that Push is joining forces with ITCH: “Investing in the Creative Hunch,” a new and dynamic form of participation in the arts, one where the public becomes part of the actual infrastructure of our artistic projects.

One of ITCH's goals is to activate a much larger section of civil society to become directly involved in artistic projects in a meaningful way. If it’s easy, accessible, fun, and meaningful, then involvement will grow and we could see a shift in terms of participation in the arts. There will be plenty of fun including dinner parties and social mixers.

3 easy steps to become involved with Push's ITCH:
1. Visit the Push ITCH page on www.facetheitch.com.
2. Choose a Push ITCH role from our examples.
3. Contact us directly at info@pushdance.org

Word-of-Mouth is our most valuable resource so, PLEASE pass this message on to your friends. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank You
Raissa
