We’ve been working for 12 years to build a reputation for

·   original artistic work

·   global thinking

·   individual artistic accountability

·   professionals sharing resources

On September 30^th of last year, PushPush became a fully open-sourced professional arts organization.  Find out more at Wikinomics and our open-source document.

We hope to further meet these aims with the following projects, all of which are connected to our new Portal Project, a joint venture of PushPush and 7 Stages in cooperation with Goethe Zentrum and artists both nationally and around the world. The mission of the Portal Project is to make exchange of new and emerging voices more affordable and frequent.  Through this program we hope to bring to Atlanta a full season of productions, screenings, workshops, residencies, and global artistic discussion, as well as establish a permanent home in Berlin to provide a portal for regular passage to individual artists on both sides of the Atlantic.  There is a place for you!  Get involved.

CopyMe A world premiere comedy by Rahel Savoldelli and Tim Habeger.

Meet Rahel #1. She has joined up with her partners Rahel #2, and #3 to bring you a BRAND NEW COMPLETELY ORIGINAL WORK! But why is it so much like Kubrick's The Shining? This co-production between Berlin's Gutes Tun Collective, Luz Algranti in Buenos Aires, and PushPush in Atlanta will premiere at Les grandes Traversées Festival in Bordeaux, France and run first at Ballhaus Ost in Berlin, January 2009, before coming back to PushPush in May of 2009.

The Extremists A world premiere stage play written by CJ Hopkins.

Directed by Walter Asmus, The Extremists features 7 Stages Artistic Director Del Hamilton as Norm, and PushPush Artistic Director Tim Habeger as Dick. This is a co-production with PushPush, 7 Stages, and English Theater Berlin. The program is funded in part by Goethe Zentrum.

Private Dancer A guest presentation by Panic Productions.

Private Dancer is part dance and part theater created by of one of Europe’s most acclaimed choreographers, Iceland’s Margrét Sara Guðjónsdóttir.  It is a multi-layered waking nightmare where our deepest fears and nervous anxieties are pulled from under the sheets and left twitching in the light, bathed in cold sweat. A disturbing yet humorous ménage-a-trois of Freudian analysis, horror movie, and variety show exploring how received cultural language bleeds into our subconscious, lending form to the dialect of the Id. It reveals what happens when, under the warm blanket of somnolence, the absurd mental theatre of anxiety flickers to life to perform our very own private dance. Private Dancer dares to open the Pandora's box within us all and peer into its inky black depths. Coming in May of 2009.

3Some A guest presentation by Total Brutal Theater (English site).

3Some is a bright and edgy comedy by Israeli Nir de Volff, German Knut Berger, and Palestinian Sahara Abu Gosh. A dance and theater production that is truly funny, touching, insightful and irreverent. When traveling in other countries, what's the worst answer to the question, Where do you come from? Germany? Israel? Palestine? Or is it America? Let's just all take a bath and get along. American Premiere May 2009. Performed in English. Adults only.

First annual New Film Distribution seminar

In cooperation with Turner Broadcasting, PushPush will hold its first annual seminar about the rapidly changing world of film distribution.  We hope to create an annual forum to discuss and share new approaches to distributing new film work in theaters, on television, and on the web.  This three-day seminar will feature some of Atlanta’s leading film producers, advertisers and filmmakers with national and international guest panels. Coming in spring 2009.
