General Information
SLAM is located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and is the home of STREB activities. Open rehearsals, performances, STREB classes, and other explorations of action mechanics happen here daily. SLAM is open to the public any time that staff is present.
History
In January 2003, STREB moved into a then vacant former loading facility for the Old Dutch Mustard Company. While preserving both the space's unobstructed dimensions (30' high ceilings and 50' x 100' footprint) and physical character (exposed cinder block walls and steel I-Beams and a street-level loading gate), STREB transformed 51 North 1st Street into the STREB LAB FOR ACTION MECHANICS (SLAM), a multipurpose space which accommodates the company's school, 150-seat performance space, rehearsal facilities, trapeze rig, administrative offices, technical shop and storage.
Since 2003, SLAM has become a gathering spot for exchange of creative ideas across cultures of kids, dancers, gymnasts, circus specialists and pedestrians. SLAM is a place to experiment, a place that examines the difference between public and private, a place that is all public, all the time. Over the course of a year, nearly 6,000 people see one of 40 performances of STREB in its own performing space, over 400 students come to SLAM weekly to attend one of over 40 classes, and renters, primarily individual artists, use the space over 50 hours per week.
With unprecedented support for building acquisition from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York City Council, the Mayor's Office and the Brooklyn Borough President's Office, the company purchased SLAM in November 2007.
