Elizabeth Streb – Extreme Action Choreographer

Watching an Elizabeth Streb dance piece is both exhilarating and terrifying. Her mission is to make people fly, but not with lifts and pirouettes. Her visual metaphors are more trapeze, jungle gyms, and bungie jumping, with a healthy dose of potential danger.

While the 66-year old choreographer, performer, and teacher of contemporary dance has been active for many years, it is difficult to see her works performed because of high production costs. Luckily a documentary about her, BORN TO FLY: Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity, was released in 2014. 

 You can watch the trailer for the film below. It is less than 2 minutes long and unforgettable.
