The Circadian Project with PUSH Physical Theatre at UH School of Theatre and Dance - Studio 208

This project is supported by the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts.

A world premiere embodied storytelling event that exemplifies the expression, “leap, and the net shall appear,” as our incoming MFA Acting cohort and select undergrads build a project like no other. In just over 100 hours of rehearsal, an entire play without words will be conceived, devised, and performed, led by PUSH Physical Theatre, courtesy of a Cynthia Woods Mitchell Visiting Artists. PUSH: Intense athleticism, gravity-defying acrobatics, and soulful artistry are the trademarks of award-winning, genre-defining PUSH Physical Theatre. Founded in Rochester, NY in 2000 by husband-and-wife team, Darren and Heather Stevenson, out of a desire to “push” the boundaries of conventional theatre, PUSH has since earned an international reputation as one of the world’s leading physical theatre companies performing at Soho Playhouse and garnered many awards in the Fringe theatre circuit. PUSH has also been featured in acclaimed collaborations with the Grammy-winning Ying Quartet, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and Pulitzer Prize-nominated composer Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon’s two multi-media operas.
