Led by choreographer Julia Rhoads, Lucky Plush Productions is a Chicago-based dance theater company that creates immersive environments through striking visual design and a movement vocabulary that is lush, intricate, and conceptually derived. Since founding in 1999, Lucky Plush has facilitated the relationship between dance, performance and new media technologies, offering a distinctive interdisciplinary platform for innovative artists in Chicago. The development of choreography is always the starting point, and it is the refracting of dance through experiments in other media that leads the company in new directions.

Lucky Plush Productions has premiered 28 original works including performance installations, 2 dance films and 7 evening-length productions. A distinct integration of dance with theater and visual design has located Lucky Plush Productions in a wide range of venues including Cusp Conference 2008, The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, PAC/edge Performance Festival, and site-specific locations including Chicago’s Millennium Park and Great Hall in Union Station, and the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival in Fairbanks, Alaska.Features in publications include the cover story of Time Out Chicago’s “5 reasons to love dance in Chicago,” the Chicago Sun Times “lasting memories in dance” (2005 & 2007), the Chicago Tribune’s article “Best of Dance 2008,” and a 2008 review in Dance Magazine where it was noted “there is little doubt Lucky Plush will continue to evolve in its exciting efforts to integrate artistic forms.” For more information about Lucky Plush Productions, visit www.luckyplush.com.
