The Elevate! Showcase Event

The 2025 Elevate Program is a collaboration between the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival and Symposia, an events cooperative owned and operated by participants from previous years.

What is it?

It is a free program that will bring together 8 racialized youth who are curious about a career in performance art, creative writing, theater, music, and/or other artistic avenues, but have not yet had significant exposure to industry professionals.

Who is it for?

It is intended for youth (18-24) who are interested in experiencing the performing arts from all angles and learning more about creation and production. Those with aspirations in creating, performing and/or producing are strongly encouraged to join.
