  • PuSh Festival presents Club PuSh shows Lineup for 2018
The PuSh International Performing Arts Festival (PuSh Festival) announces its 14th annual edition, taking place January 16 to February 4, 2018 at various Vancouver venues. Eight Club PuSh shows will be presented at The Fox Cabaret, and three of which will also be presented at New Westminster’s Anvil Centre. 
 
CLUB PUSH SHOWS
Club PuSh is all about cutting-edge performance in a less formal atmosphere. These works by emerging and established artists are alive with the experimental spirit, pushing performance forms to new limits. New this year, Club PuSh has two homes: The Fox Cabaret in Vancouver and the Anvil Centre in New Westminster.
 
Unplugged – Dickie Beau (England)
Jan 19 | Fox Cabaret
Jan 20 | Anvil Centre
Presented with Anvil Centre
Supported by British Council
Drag artist extraordinaire Dickie Beau has refined the art of lip-synch playback performances with flawless miming and use of found sound.  Here he drops the mask, and the true Dickie enlightens on Greek culture, democracy and more, laying bare his artistic journey and technique.
 
Torrey Pines – Clyde Petersen (USA)
Jan 20
Trans filmmaker and musician Clyde Petersen presents a stop-motion animated adventure into his misgendered pre-teen years spent in Southern California. 
 
HINKYPUNK – FakeKnot (Canada)
Jan 26
Vancouver’s own Ralph Escamillan reveals a dance spectacular that has him decked out in “sequin skin”¬—a walking, breathing and shiny signifier. Inspired by drag, ballroom and vogue subcultures of expression through artifice, he offers a beguiling and sexy study on the gaze, the body and the self.
 
Joseph Keckler (USA)
Jan 26 | Anvil Centre
Jan 27 | Fox Cabaret
Presented with Anvil Centre
Harnessing his three-octave range, Joseph Keckler moves from opera to pop without missing a beat. 
 
Daughter – QuipTake & Pandemic Theatre (Canada)
Feb 1
Toronto comedian Adam Lazarus, a recent new dad, comes to grips with what it means to become the father of a daughter, and with smart, incisive and remorseful self-reflection, asks, “What are you willing to forgive?”
 
Cris Derksen – Cris Derksen Trio (Canada)
Feb 2 | Anvil Centre
Feb 3 | The Fox Cabaret
Presented with Anvil Centre
Armed with loop pedal, drum machine, and cello, cellist and composer Cris Derksen pulls audiences into the propulsive, hypnotizing pounding of powwow music, head-nodding rhythms of a hip-hop, metronome thumps of a techno mix, and more in a thrilling night.
 
Spokaoke – Annie Dorsen (USA)
Feb 2 | Fox Cabaret
Participants won’t find any Queen or Taylor Swift here. In their place are some of the great artists who have gone down in history for their words. More than 90 classic speeches by the greats of our time, from Socrates to Sarah Palin, await to be recited.
 
RPM LIVE:010 – RPM Records Artists (Canada)
Feb 3 | Fox Cabaret
Presented with Revolutions Per Minute
The RPM music platform, headed by Jarrett Martineau, gathers Indigenous artists from Turtle Island and around the world. Its latest showcase of dynamite performers—an opera singer, hip-hop duo, electronic artists and storytelling songstress—are set to thrill in Vancouver.
