Born to Fly: Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity
- This is a past program
Propelled by Elizabeth Streb’s edict that “anything too safe is not action,” the STREB company challenges the assumptions of art, injury, gender, aging, and human possibility. Revealing the passions behind the STREB dancers’ bruises and broken noses, Born to Fly: Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity inspires audiences hungry for a fiercer existence in the world. (2014, Dir. C. Gund, 82 min.) A Q&A with Elizabeth Streb and Catherine Gund, moderated by Kristy Edmunds, executive and artistic director, Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA, follows the screening.
