Elizabeth Streb

Once called the Evel Knievel of dance, MacArthur Fellow ELIZABETH STREB intertwines the disciplines of dance, athletics, rodeo, the circus, and Hollywood stunt-work. In 1985 she founded STREB Extreme Action Company, which performs internationally in theaters, museums, and town squares. She established S.L.A.M. (STREB Lab for Action Mechanics) in 2003, a factory space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which produces a cottage industry of extreme action performances and invites everyday people to wonder about movement, gravity, and flight.
