Production Details

What's Done Is Done dances Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's relationship--perfect love living beside inward, personal turmoil--in a space where only the vertical is possible. A love story on a staircase; an affair that can only move in two directions; a snapshot of the ups and downs of relationships; a portal into the joy and suffering caused by living in confinement with a loved one.

Founded by Artistic Director Amy Lewis, San Francisco-based dance company Push Up Something Hidden uses performance to celebrate a flawed humanity. In the performances presented by P.U.S.H., the rethinking and retelling of literary works or historical events–public or private–has influence over the form and structure of the movement. Through the works presented by P.U.S.H., Lewis intends to objectively uncover the emotional undercurrent embedded in life experiences, striving to instill sensitivity to another’s opinions and needs by asking the viewer to look at the world through an alternate life. P.U.S.H. has performed at multiple venues and festivals throughout the Bay Area, including Women’s Work, West Wave Dance Festival, DUMBO Dance Festival, San Francisco International Arts Festival, SwapFest, ODC’s Pilot Program, Mills Dance Alumni Association, Meridian Gallery, The Garage, SAFEhouse Arts, SPF9, Shawl-Anderson’s Youth Ensemble, YBCA, and 8x8x8.

Artist Biographies

Amy Lewis
Amy Lewis (choreography) founded Push Up Something Hidden in 2007. P.U.S.H.’s focus on the collaborative process has led Lewis to be fully invested in the Bay Area artist community. Lewis’ belief–that it takes a great number of artists making and supporting work to move the field forward–drives the creation of certain projects that have at their core an interest in collective impact. Focusing on projects that present the work of other Bay Area choreographers is one of Lewis’ commitments to the field of dance; therefore, Lewis was thrilled to assist in curating West Wave 26 and serving on the Isadora Duncan Dance Awards committee from 2018-2020. Lewis dances with Nancy Karp + Dancers and works as a public librarian and dance archivist. She holds a BA in theater from UCLA, an MFA in dance from Mills College, and an MLIS from SJSU.
