About PUSH+

PUSH+ is a 3-year Creative Europe co-operation project led by Imaginate (Scotland) alongside Aaben Dans (Denmark), Krokusfestival (Belgium), Scenekunstbruket (Norway), The Ark (Ireland) and associate partner Bangkok International Children's Festival (Thailand).  

PUSH+ will stimulate European dialogue and initiate new artistic ideas and performances around three important topics in performance for young audiences - Home, Failure and Different Bodies. These are topics that push us to take more risks as makers and presenters, to address the underrepresentation of different lives and bodies on our stages and to tell stories that really connect with children and who they are.  Each topic will have a year-long focus with a Lab, Residency and Festival Visit/Presentation.  We will also explore three artistic formats  - Participatory, Site-specific and Intergenerational - across all three topics.
