Elizabeth Streb and her Hardware Heroes will stage their Fall Season, Slam Show 8: STREB Extreme Action at S.L.A.M. (Streb Lab for Action Mechanics) their spacious studio/playground at 51 North 1st St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
STREB continues to forge a new entertainment terrain, blending dance, gymnastics, physics and all the thrills and chills of the circus into a form they call PopAction. Slam 8 continues the battle begun at Lincoln Center in July in the acclaimed show, STREB VS. GRAVITY, engaging STREB’s arch enemy in Gravity in any number of engaging, entertaining ways. It’s an Action Event for the stout of heart and imagination, anyone of any age who has every dreamed of being free of our earthly constraints and being able to soar. STREB S.L.A.M. home seasons have become popular events for the whole family with their festive carnival atmosphere. All are welcome to watch the Action Faction tackle its big, muscular ideas and continue to play with their Action Contraptions.
