STREB - Elizabeth Streb

Elizabeth Streb is a choreographer, a dance, and a teacher. Elizabeth is also an inventor, and innovator, and an action hero. When her Streb Extreme Action troupe came to Skidmore College in Upstate New York, I had the honor of sitting down with Elizabeth to talk about her career, her vision, and see her heroes in action. For more than three decades STREB has been touring the world and wowing audiences with Elizabeth's unique design and passion for the projects she creates. She wanted to fly at an early age, like really fly, and understood that to fly you must also come down. So she set out to do just that, and every performance from STREB Extreme Action is testament to what exactly the human body can achieve, how it can exist in the space in front of you, and how it can challenge your perceptions and emotions through movement. We also touch upon how she started SLAM, an artistic laboratory and action factory where all are welcome, located in Brooklyn New York.One of the most inspiring, and interesting conversations, I have had on this program, and I look forward to seeing more from STREB in the future.
