A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of interviewing Elizabeth Streb, aka the Evel Knievel of Dance, at the Streb Lab for Action Mechanics (SLAM) in Brooklyn. Streb, who prefers the title “action architect” to choreographer, tests the limits of human movement with neat-o gadgets like the Whizzing Gizmo shown here in the video.

If you haven’t seen Streb’s company in action, get yourself over to Williamsburg and check them out — you can find their rehearsal schedule here. If you’re not in New York, catch them on tour.

In the meantime, please click here to read my interview with Streb in the current issue of Dance Teacher magazine.
