Vancouver Is Awesome is a proud media partner of the 2013 PuSh Festival! Throughout the festival the folks who run things will be bringing you intimate features from behind the scenes to the front lines.
We asked PuSh Festival Executive Director Norman Armour to give a few recommendations for a wide variety of audiences and this is what he had to say!
WHAT PUSH FESTIVAL SHOW WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR...
A newbie to PuSh
Show: Winners and Losers
Why: If this doesn't grab your interest, mischievous, intellectual hate strings, and make you want more, well then shut the front door.
A couple on their first date
Show: Ballet BC's Encore
Why: The choice of entertainment will prove you have class, taste and smarts.
A couple on their second date
Show: Ride the Cyclone
Why: You want to be sitting beside someone you can scream and hold hands with. It's a scary, scary fun ride.
A person looking for a date
Show: Cédric Andrieux
Why: Everyone coming out this show will be so uplifted and feeling oh-so-human, no one will stand being solitary. Simply hang out in the lobby looking available.
A group of friends looking for a fun night out
Show: The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart
Why: Hands down the choice for drinking buddies and singing couples night out.
A budget conscious arts lover
Show: Sometimes I think, I can see you
Why: It's free….
A technology junkie
Show: Haptic + Holistic Strata
Why: This guy's work is straight from the Matrix. Heck, he is the Matrix.
A foodie
Show: Anything involving a Dine Out Vancouver package in the Act 1, Eat 1 series.
Why: Seriously…. it's a deal, a steal and lip-smacking good.
An adventurous thrill seeker
Show: Do You See What I Mean?
Why: You can't get any riskier than donning a blindfold to be led by a complete stranger for 2.5 hours.
A book worm
Show: Human Library
Why: Come on… As Buffy the Vampire said, does the word "duh" mean anything to you.
A pop culture junkie
Show: Northern Soul, 30 Cecil Street & A Western
Why: Three young, UK groups from Bristol and Brighton… hands down the pop culture kings and queens of the 2013 PuSh Festival.
