Dances for a Small Stage

Presented with

PuSh Festival and Small Stage are teaming up to bring back this critically acclaimed and wildly popular Vancouver institution—and this time, it’s bolder and braver than ever. With a spotlight on the power of intersectional and intergenerational performers, the lineup explores a wide range of dance practices, showcasing a vibrant mix of eclectic works by visionary local, national and international artists. 

This collection of 12 original pieces spans a dynamic range of dance from ballet to jazz, contemporary to contortion, flamenco to performance art, musical theatre and more. Featuring emerging to senior artists embracing the short form, Dances for a Small Stage provides a platform for some of today’s most exciting dance and performance art makers to push the boundaries of artistry and innovation while challenging convention.

Expect edge-of-your-seat short works with power, precision and exuberance that represent a generational shift, blending traditional styles with contemporary influences. Each piece is just five to seven minutes long, unfolding on the company’s signature 12ft by 10ft stage, which turns minimal space into a canvas for posing thought-provoking questions. 

Held in an off-beat, intimate cabaret setting, this show offers a unique experience designed to ignite your senses. Come prepared for an evening of stirring, provocative and truly unforgettable dance performances. Word on the street is this event holds unexpected delights—surprises await, but only those who join will discover all that the night has in store.
