Danger: Everyday Objects

2 dancers falling to avoid an I-beam

This winter's "home season" program showcases a body of Elizabeth Streb's work which highlights quotidian objects as extreme action hardware. Everyday objects you might see on a construction site, and that make up the building blocks of our lived environment, have long been the subject of Streb’s obsessive action invention. From dirt, glass, plywood and two-by-fours, to concrete blocks, I-beams, truck straps, buckets and ladders, Streb has transformed these objects to foment complex extreme action choreography over the years. With a libretto written by Laura Flanders, DANGER: EVERYDAY OBJECTS, weaves together a poetic look at the everyday building objects we all live within.

Performance Link will be available from Friday, December 11, 2020, 12 pm - Sunday, January 24, 2021, 11:59 pm

An exclusive virtual conversation and Q&A with Elizabeth Streb moderated by Laura Flanders will be held via Zoom on Tuesday, December 15, 2020 @ 7:00 pm.
