STREB Extreme Action February 6, 2009

POW! It’s ballet in a mosh pit. THUMP! Boot camp under the big top. WHAM! Smash-mouth football on a tumble mat. Traditional dance takes heavy collateral damage as STREB declares all-out war on gravity. Powerful bodies fly in an artfully dangerous, action-packed program of extreme sports meets gymnastics.
The audience’s hearts stay in their throats as the dancers move with breathtaking precision around, through, and against various contraptions—and each other. There’s nary a dull sensory moment in STREB’s viscerally exhausting, high-energy fusion of physical expressions. Let the action begin!
