Dances for a Small Stage returns to the PuSh Festival
PuSh Festival and Small Stage are teaming up to bring back this critically acclaimed and wildly popular Vancouver institution—and this time, it’s bolder and braver than ever!
This experience immerses audiences in a world of magic as it draws on the nuances of Weimar Cabaret and a dynamic range of dance styles to present an innovative new showcase of vibrant works by visionary local, national and international dance artists who are pushing the boundaries of the dance and cabaret worlds.
This cabaret of 12 short pieces spans a dynamic range of movement from ballet to jazz, contemporary to contortion, flamenco to performance art, burlesque, musical-theatre and more. Expect edge-of-your-seat short works with power, precision and exuberance in an immersive setting designed to transport you to a thrilling realm.
Each piece is just 5-7 minutes long, unfolding on the company’s signature 12ft X 10ft stage, which turns minimal space into a magical canvas for posing thought-provoking questions.
