Selected Reviews

"...If it’s true that watching others move makes our own muscles fire, we’ve had a workout. Streb cooks up a vibrant stew that’s part circus, part sporting event, part theater, part student recital, and part scrupulous time-motion-energy investigation."
Elizabeth Streb Spins Her ‘Whizzing Gizmo’; Rajika Puri Dives Into the Ganges
Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice, 5/13/2009

"The space is so small you can feel the vibrations of the dancer’s thundering bodies as they perform, see the rest of the audience’s faces mirroring your own reactions. There’s a feeling of community, of solidarity, energy drummed up by the dancers and tossed back by the audience..."
The Hijinks of Molly and Tara, 5/22/09

“By exploring the frontiers of performance space, and creating works that reflect the spirit of our technological age, Ms. Streb is carrying dance into a new dimension.”
-Robert Johnson, The New York Times

“A choreographer who requires a special taste rarely appeals to a broad public. But Elizabeth Streb’s pieces do both, and this paradox is the secret to her success … One can respond viscerally to the dancers who crash against walls or to dancers curveting their bodies in space. As they fly into the air and land, inches away from one another, their split-second timing impresses with its results: rhythm, dynamics, and thrills…"
-Anna Kisselgoff. The New York Times

“Streb’s unique movement art – kin to sport, circus, physics experiment, and hard labor-- has reached a peak of theatricality and dare-all virtuosity.”
-Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice

“With their sweaty athleticism and high wire daring, STREB’s dancers may well be the
Flying Wallendas of Dance.”
-Amy Gammerman, The Wall Street Journal

“The air is filled with the sounds of grinding crashes, grunts and yells from the
performers and gasps from the audience…it is all in great fun.”
-Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times

“As if the law of gravity had been repealed.”
-Gus Solomons, Dance Magazine

“It’s not like choreography you have ever seen before ...,It’s all high impact stuff – people throwing themselves against walls with bone-crushing abandon, hurtling down ropes and bouncing on trampolines...with oohs and aahs from the audience, and an effect at its best rather like a firework display.”
Clive Barnes, New York Post
