Choreographer Elizabeth Streb has been called “the Evel Knievel of dance.” Her work declares all-out war on gravity, combining dance, gymnastics, circus skills, and stunt-work with high-tech sound and set design to redefine the possibilities of movement. In BRAVE, she joins forces with trapeze artists and the MIT Media Lab for a perpetual-motion action adventure. Both the performers and the structures around them are in constant motion, leaping, spinning, soaring, falling, and space-shifting. “Ms. Streb is carrying dance into a new dimension.” —The New York Times
