"TIME MACHINE" is a journey through Elizabeth Streb’s career that explores her classic solos from the 70s and 80s, early equipment experimentations from the 90s, and jaw-dropping extreme action opuses with the large scale “action machines” the company has since become known for from the early 21st century. This historic look back connects the line from the company's experimental past to the extreme action of their current and future works.

STREB EXTREME ACTION pushes the limits of dance with its unique blend of athleticism, skill, daring, and the invention of Action Machines. This unmatched approach allows the dancers to employ a new set of motions in space, encouraging complex body discoveries, therefore mysterious forces are harnessed. The company is renowned for its death-defying stunts and high-energy, physically demanding performances that challenge traditional notions of dance and push the boundaries of what is possible. Bring your friends, the family, and experience the fun, grit, and explosive sights of action and innovation.
