| "Who owns a dance?"
|
Following recent tours to New York City, Eastern Illinois, and Iowa City, Chicago's Lucky Plush Productions returns to the Dance Center with their critically acclaimed Punk Yankees. A provocative and entertaining dance theater work, it uses live performance, video, and the internet to explore questions about authenticity, originality, and ownership of dance in the digital age.
This audience favorite was included in Chicago Reader's "Best of 2010" for Best Commentary on Modern Technology by a Choreographer, and was referred to as:
|
"A terrific odyssey, full of amusing, varied and tireless dancing."
-Chicago Tribune
"Its attitude is fundamentally paradoxical,
tongue-in-cheek, and subversive."
-SeeChicagoDance.com
"People like yourself and your colleagues represent for me the brilliant
new generation of thinkers who have chosen, thank goodness, to dance."
-William Forsythe, choreographer
