PUSH Festival 2023 at HOME
Kristy Stott, Theatre Editor
Thrilling and challenging, PUSH Festival at HOME Manchester is always a highlight of the theatre calendar. A celebration of the North West’s creative talents, PUSH Festival 2023 will take place over four weeks – as HOME offers up its stages, screens and spaces as a platform for some of the fantastic work happening across the region.
Celebrating the North West’s emerging artists and creatives, we love that PUSH gives audiences the chance to seek out new and extraordinary performances, works and screenings – some brand-new and some so good that they demand to be seen again.
PUSH 2023 brings exciting new commissions across a range of art forms. You’ll find theatre by Isabella Leung and Liam Rees, a new digital work by Anna West and a brand new solo exhibition by Tara Collete.
We’re also thrilled that this year’s festival features work from some of our favourite theatre companies: Box of Tricks, Monkeywood Theatre, Ugly Bucket and Ink and Curtain as well as performances from Mothers Who Make, Darren Pritchard, Josh Coates, Amy Lowcock and Panoptical. Additionally, artist Jenny Gaskell brings an intimate audio story and idontloveyouanymore will create a new confessional digital work.
Aside from performance and visual art, PUSH Festival also offers a range of masterclasses and workshops – all bringing great opportunities for artists and creatives to meet industry professionals and further hone their skills across a broad range of topics.
