Cy and David's Weekly Picks: PUSHfest, Poetics, and Split Personalities

Cy and David's Weekly Picks: PUSHfest, Poetics, and Split Personalities

Friday, Sept. 18 – Sunday, Sept. 20: PUSHfest 2015. Now in its 10th season, Raissa Simpson’s Push dance company showcases a wide range of genres staged by 15 choreographers. Details here. 

Saturday, Sept. 19: Destroyer. Dan Bejar’s elegantly experimental electronic solo project hits the Fillmore. Details here. 

Sunday, Sept. 20: The Mary Stallings Quartet. This Bay Area native and former seamstress’s voice is like the silk she worked with — roughened a bit with age, but what a story it has to tell. Details here. 

Tuesday, Sept. 22: Gin Wigmore. This young New Zealander sounds a bit like Wanda Jackson crossed with Amy Winehouse — new twang in an old soul. Details here. 

Opening Thursday, Sept. 24: Joe Goode’s ‘Poetics of Space.’ This premiere is an evening-length dance piece inspired by a book of the same title by the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard. Details here.

Now through Oct. 18: ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.’ This new twist on the old classic includes the use of three actors and one actress to portray the dark complexities of the amalgam of personalities that is Mr. Hyde. Details here.
