From the Twittersphere:
| Elizabeth Streb Author of STREB: How to Become an Extreme Action Hero (The Feminist Press, $18.95)  Elizabeth Streb has been testing the potential of the human body since childhood. Can she fly? Can she run up walls? Can she break through glass? How fast can she go? Combining memoir and theory, Streb conveys how she became an extreme action choreographer, developing a form of movement that’s more NASCAR than modern dance, more boxing than ballet. This book is for those who try or are willing to do just about anything to become a hero in their own way.Streb believes that true movement invention (the rubric of her investigations) happens accidentally with the milling together of strangers and out of the diverse movement voices that accidentally cross paths. Her dance and choreography organization SLAM is the Petrie dish that feeds the possibility for these new forms to emerge. |
