Carolina Performing Arts Presents STREB:Brave Collaborative Performance
Friday, February 19 at 8:00 p.m.
Saturday, February 20 at 8:00 p.m.
Memorial Hall
STREB:Brave is a cross-disciplinary collaboration between New York choreographer Elizabeth Streb, founder of the innovative STREB Dance Company; composer David Van Teighem; and the MIT Media Lab.
STREB’s virtuosic, daredevil performers combine extreme sports with dance. With backgrounds in ballet, modern dance, martial arts, acrobatics and circus skills, they use experimental technologies such as “smart” prostheses, personal robots and a human-sized yo-yo to create a new vocabulary of performance. In this performance, the collaborators will investigate physical concepts such as ways to occupy traditionally unoccupied surfaces—ceilings, walls and trusses; challenge gravity; and investigate high-speed vertical motion in the face of centrifugal force.
STREB's performances of Fall Line, Airlines, Surface and Look Up are made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts’ American Masterpieces: Dance initiative, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts.
