Born to Fly: Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity | Introduced by Streb and Catherine Gund

Tickets: $8 general public, $6 students, Wex members, and senior citizens Born to Fly is a mesmerizing portrait of experimental choreographer and dancer Elizabeth Streb, founder of Brooklyn’s STREB Extreme Action Company. Described by many as the “Evel Knievel of Dance,” Streb continues to astonish with her radical marriages of dance, performance art, acrobatics, and theater. Of the numerous performances featured in the film, perhaps none dazzles more than her dancers bungee-jumping off London’s Millennium Bridge. Streb was the recipient of the 1995-96 Wexner Center Residency Award in Performing Arts for her work Ringside. (82 mins., DCP)
