The Daily Eastern News' weekly arts and entertainment section  Section B Page 8 VPunk Yankees mix dance, humor “Even for general audiences, enough is contextualized that they completely enjoy it. It’s inviting to pretty much everybody.” Julia Rhoads, artistic director for Lucky Plush Productions

By Sara Hall Verge Editor

Many people recognize stealing music is wrong, but they may never consider the ram- i cations behind borrowing someone else’s dance and choreography. is is the idea the Lucky Plush Produc- tions’ show “Punk Yankees” will be present- BOARD OF TRUSTEESing on Jan. 21 and 22 at Doudna Fine Arts Center. Julia Rhoads, artistic director for Lucky Plush Productions, said many mainstream dances and choreography are often stolen without acknowledging the artist. She cited this as the inspiration behind the "Punk Yan- kees" show, which explores the relationship between sampling choreography and appro- priating dance moves of others. “Most people have no idea where a move- ment came from, and it’s an important thing to talk about in the dance eld,” she said. Rhoads cites music artist Beyoncé as a performer guilty of using the choreography of others. “At the time we had started the Punk Yan- kees project, the 'Single Ladies' video was going viral, and (Beyoncé) directly ripped o movements and didn’t discuss it,” she said. Rhoads said instances such as this cre- ate an unintentional ignorance in the pub- Strategic Planning lic. She described how many people often see these dances in YouTube videos and even create their own reaction videos, furthering the trickle-down eect of stolen choreogra- phy. “People are just learning and borrowing choreography o the Internet and not realiz- Newing the implications,” she said. housing rate Rhoads said to address and provide com- mentary on these problems in the dance community, Lucky Plush Productions com- pany created the Punk Yankees show in 2009 as part of the group’s ten-year anniversary. e Punk Yankees performance consists of six dancers performing direct sampling of other performers’ choreography. Rhoads said utilizing computers and live video and Twit- ter feeds enhances the performance. to present findings Rhoads said the performance explores the subject of dance theft in fun, lightheart- ed ways. “It’s something that’s serious and has a lot of implications, but the work that we made kind of addresses it from angles of humor and playfulness,” she said. Meghann Wilkinson, a collaborating en- semble member of Lucky Plush Produc- tions since 2004, said the performance is not meant to be intimidating. Instead, she said the production is meant to invoke in- sight while still being enjoyable for the au- SUBMITTED PHOTO dience.

Nick Blakenship Staff Reporter

After winning their first meet of the season, Eastern will welcome former Eastern head coach Matt Bos at the Indiana University-Pur- due University of Indianapolis to Padovon Pool at 11 a.m. on Satur- day. Bos coached Eastern’s swim team from 2008-2010, and helped 37 swimmers set school records. He also coached 33 swimmers to All- Summit League honors. The Panther men and women hope to build off their wins against Western Illinois this past weekend, and use it to avenge their 79-141 and 68-161 losses from IUPUI ear- lier in the season. “It felt really nice to see the play- ers hard work finally payoff,” head coach Elliott McGill said. “It felt really good to win, espe- cially against Western,” Sophomore Janise McGee said. “We had some- thing to prove and had a lot of sup- port.

 The Daily Eastern News' weekly arts and entertainment section VPunk Yankees mix dance, humor “Even for general audiences, enough is contextualized that they completely enjoy it. It’s inviting to pretty much everybody.” Julia Rhoads, artistic director for Lucky Plush Productions

By Sara Hall Verge Editor

Many people recognize stealing music is wrong, but they may never consider the ram- i cations behind borrowing someone else’s dance and choreography. is is the idea the Lucky Plush Produc- tions’ show “Punk Yankees” will be present- ing on Jan. 21 and 22 at Doudna Fine Arts Center. Julia Rhoads, artistic director for Lucky Plush Productions, said many mainstream dances and choreography are often stolen without acknowledging the artist. She cited this as the inspiration behind the "Punk Yan- kees" show, which explores the relationship between sampling choreography and appro- priating dance moves of others. “Most people have no idea where a move- ment came from, and it’s an important thing to talk about in the dance eld,” she said. Rhoads cites music artist Beyoncé as a performer guilty of using the choreography of others. “At the time we had started the Punk Yan- kees project, the 'Single Ladies' video was going viral, and (Beyoncé) directly ripped o movements and didn’t discuss it,” she said. Rhoads said instances such as this cre- ate an unintentional ignorance in the pub- lic. She described how many people often see these dances in YouTube videos and even create their own reaction videos, furthering the trickle-down eect of stolen choreogra- phy. “People are just learning and borrowing choreography o the Internet and not realiz- ing the implications,” she said. Rhoads said to address and provide com- mentary on these problems in the dance community, Lucky Plush Productions com- pany created the Punk Yankees show in 2009 as part of the group’s ten-year anniversary. e Punk Yankees performance consists of six dancers performing direct sampling of other performers’ choreography. Rhoads said utilizing computers and live video and Twit- ter feeds enhances the performance. Rhoads said the performance explores the subject of dance theft in fun, lightheart- ed ways. “It’s something that’s serious and has a lot of implications, but the work that we made kind of addresses it from angles of humor and playfulness,” she said. Meghann Wilkinson, a collaborating en- semble member of Lucky Plush Produc- tions since 2004, said the performance is not meant to be intimidating. Instead, she said the production is meant to invoke in- sight while still being enjoyable for the au- SUBMITTED PHOTO dience.
