NIC Kay | pushit!
“Can resistance be choreographed?” This is the question that drives pushit!, a site-responsive, mobile performance by the New York–based artist NIC Kay. NIC’s artistic practice is inspired by a wide range of movement disciplines—from butoh to praise dance to voguing—that come together in pushit!, part of a larger body of work called “Get Well Soon!” In NIC’s hands, this commonly used expression invites the audience to collectively imagine a future of reparation and black diasporic healing.
