“This fun-filled, nifty nod at skate culture in the disco era is complete with colorful tweeds and
polyester galore”
— Chicago Tribune
“Supremely charming…producing moments of unison, balance, and coordination that arise like miracles from disorder”
— Chicago Reader
In Rink Life, Lucky Plush brings its highly integrated approach to dance-theater into a communal space that nods to the visual aesthetics and social dynamics of 1970s roller rink culture, where relationships and storylines are as transient as the world that contains them. Rink Life’s staging and choreography are built from the rink’s spatial rules and social codes, and its script-turned-libretto is entirely spoken and sung live. As the ensemble sings full-throatedly to score their experiences, they demonstrate through effort, risk, beauty, and failure that they—and we—are utterly dependent on one another.
The performance features music ranging from the Bee Gees to James Brown, Paul McCartney, Cat Stevens and many other artists.
Rink Life has been created and directed by Lucky Plush Artistic Director Julia Rhoads, along with Collaborating Director Leslie Buxbaum Danzig and with added collaboration by the work’s ensemble.
