Carolina Performing Arts Presents STREB:Brave Collaborative Performance | 8:00 to 10:00 p.m.
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 will interact with robotics, investigating physical concepts such as ways to occupy traditionally unoccupied surfaces—ceilings, walls and trusses; challenging gravity; and investigating high-speed vertical motion in the face of centrifugal force.
Memorial Hall
