PUSH Dance Company: The Sanctuary

Raissa Simpson, founder of PUSH Dance Company, had a clear vision for the space that would house her company at 447 Minna: to “provide students & artists from historically oppressed backgrounds a space for refuge and restorative dance practices”, that is, a BIPOC Sanctuary. Gelfand Partners worked closely with PUSH and CAST, the owner of the building, to design a place the company could call home, a place for healing, a place to express oneself through music, dance and community gathering.
