BORN TO FLY is infused with Streb's passion for action -- to walk on walls; dive through glass; move so fast you disappear; fly.
Sometimes called the Evel Knievel of dance, she is the pioneer of a movement form called "POPACTION," which is couched in the exploration of human potential -- both physical and emotional. Through her work, she expands our notions of movement; explores the intersections of dance, performance, and stunt-work; and provokes ideas about how fear might enhance our experiences. Still, Streb's work is not only about bodies and adrenaline. She also uses choreography to demonstrate the power and complexities of age, gender, class, and race - both for her dancers and her audiences. BORN TO FLY wrestles with these complexities in order to propagate confidence and bravery among the diverse communities that can be inspired by Streb's philosophy and her punch.
