STREB EXTREME ACTION brings its thrilling feats of physicality, grace, strength, and risk back to Williamsburg this Fall!

 

NOVEMBER 1 – 24

Fridays @ 7:30PM | Saturdays @ 5PM | Sundays @ 3PM

Join STREB as co-artistic directors Elizabeth Streb and Cassandre Joseph present a daring collection of Action Events that showcase the extreme physicality, innovation, and those trademark near misses. Featured events include CHAOS MASS, where our Action Heroes dodge massive concrete-filled pipes and a spiraling steel I-beam, and THE WALL, which hasn’t been performed since 2018! Watch as our Action Heroes crash, climb, and collide with an 8×8 foot blackboard-like structure; running, leaping, slamming into the wall with full force, scaling and hanging from its edges. From Action Heroes balancing on a rotating pipe suspended overhead in MUSIC BOX to navigating the force of a simulated 100-foot wave in MAVERICK SURF, this production promises an exhilarating experience you won’t want to miss.

 

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME is presented with visionary support from the A. Woodner Foundation, Rivendell Dressage and Hudson Scenic Studios.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
