PuSh & Anvil Centre Unite to Expand Club PuSh to New Westminster

Anvil Centre19 Jan '18 to 03 Feb '18 @ 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM
  • PuSh & Anvil Centre Unite to Expand Club PuSh to New Westminster
The PuSh International Performing Arts Festival (PuSh Festival) announces the expansion of its experimental, night-time weekend series Club PuSh, January 19 to February 3, 2018, held at its long-time Vancouver hub, The Fox Cabaret, and for the first time at a second venue, Anvil Centre in New Westminster. New West audiences will be treated to three Club PuSh shows from the eight-show series where acclaimed artists from Canada, the US and UK perform in works ranging from the hip and the queer, to the radical and riotous.
   
The three Club PuSh shows presented at Anvil Centre, which will also be presented at The Fox Cabaret on alternating nights, are:
 
Unplugged – Dickie Beau (England)
Jan 19, 9PM at The Fox Cabaret
Jan 20, 8PM at Anvil Centre
Presented with Anvil Centre
Supported by British Council
Drag artist extraordinaire Dickie Beau drops the mask, and the true Dickie enlightens on Greek culture, democracy and more, laying bare his artistic journey and technique.
 
Joseph Keckler (USA)
Jan 26, 8PM at Anvil Centre
Jan 27, 9PM at The Fox Cabaret
Presented with Anvil Centre
Harnessing his three-octave range, Joseph Keckler moves from opera to pop without missing a beat. A self-deprecating and charming showcase of the lowbrow and highbrow.
 
Cris Derksen Trio — Cris Derksen (Canada)
Feb 2, 8PM at Anvil Centre
Feb 3, 9PM at The Fox Cabaret
Presented with Anvil Centre
Armed with loop pedal, drum machine, and cello, 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.
 
Club PuSh at Anvil Centre three-show packages ($75, plus service fee) and single tickets at anvilcentre.com
 
The five Club PuSh shows presented only at The Fox Cabaret are:
 
Torrey Pines – Clyde Petersen (USA)
Jan 20, 9PM | The Fox Cabaret
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, 9PM | The Fox Cabaret
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.
 
Daughter – QuipTake & Pandemic Theatre (Canada)
Feb 1, 10:30PM | The Fox Cabaret
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?”
 
Spokaoke – Annie Dorsen (USA)
Feb 2, 9PM | The Fox Cabaret
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.
 
Club PuSh Closing Night Concert – Various Artists (Canada)
Feb 3, 10:30pm | The Fox Cabaret
Presented with Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
Celebrate the closing night of the 2018 PuSh Festival, with a lineup of Indigenous musicians from across Turtle Island. Surely one of the city’s musical events of the year.
