Working to develop Dance, Art, and movement education around concepts of Strength and Power, push/FOLD is the brainchild of composer-choreographer Samuel Hobbs. Established in 2016 as a tax-exempt 501c3 non-profit Portland-based dance company, push/FOLD teaches and performs in festivals, conferences, and self-produced events, and actively works with local and regional organizations and artists to

enhance arts education, interaction, support, and advocacy. push/FOLD's mission and vision: Community power through arts and movement education, training, and performances. Since our inception, push/FOLD's primary activities include artist commissions, movement and science-focused masterclasses, workshops, presentations using Samuel's Visceral Movement Theory™ technique, while providing student outreach and live dance performances. In 2019 push/FOLD premiered the Union PDX - Festival of Contemporary Dance and the Portland Dance Community Awards to address barriers to visibility and access for professional artists.

Oregon Origins Project VIII: Echoes of Eruption
Join us in Bend this Friday, June 26, for the final performance of our season.
Since last July, we have been deep in the creation of Echoes of Eruption, a new choreographic and sound composition inspired by Oregon’s Newberry Volcano. This new work moves between the macro and the micro, imagining what it might feel like to travel through the volcano rather than simply view it from the outside.
Echoes of Eruption premieres June 26 at the Tower Theatre in Bend.
Tickets are on sale now. [Link in Bio]
Dancers: Alana Rae (Alana Stubbs ), Bryony Bowman (Bryony Bowman), and Marina Vianello (Marina Vianello )
Choreography and composition by Samuel Hobbs (PUSH FOLD | PDX Dance Company)
