LUCKY PLUSH DOES KATE BUSH

For StealThisDance.com, Lucky Plush Productions experiments with the ways that sampling dance is a form of impersonation. We love Kate Bush!

In conjunction with our 10th anniversary project Punk Yankees, Lucky Plush Productions created www.StealThisDance.com, an homage to Abbie Hoffmans Steal This Book (1971). The site is intended to stimulate discussion and interaction around questions about intellectual property and the value of dance. The site documents our ongoing work on Punk Yankees, and our experimentation with sampling, remixing, and appropriating physical movement.

We are also compiling a list of illegal arts incidents and incidences related to sampling, appropriation, and copyright law, as well as keeping a blog, in which we will discuss the ongoing project . Be sure to visit us at www.StealThisDance.com and give us your feedback!
