about

Isaac Bush is a theatre practitioner specializing in devised and conceptual live performance. Born in Muskegon, MI and based in New York City, Isaac's work has been seen across continental USA, Europe, and China. His primary focus on imminent topical issues is created alongside a group of international collaborators and produced in site-specific spaces. As an instructor, Isaac regularly teaches professionals and students alike within a movement-based framework to begin their devising processes.

Bush is the Artistic Director of SMPL MCHN and The Circle Theater of New York.

"My projects reflect the interconnectedness of our human condition. The issues of focus must be articulated by the voices best representative of those issues. I prioritize sharing my incubation and production processes with diverse and multifaceted artists from a wide spectrum of backgrounds and life experiences."

Bush is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London, Hope College in Holland, MI, the British-American Drama Academy, and the GLCA New York Arts Program.
