Elizabeth Streb quotes:

When I'm taking my last breath, I want to look at how I used up the best of myself. How much did I sweat, push, pull, rip, fall, hit, crash, explode?...My dream is to be so well-used that in my last-half second, I just burst into dust.

Skip your brain and go right to the gut,

You have to get beyond the barrier of self-protection before you can really fly.

It's basic research: shoot an arrow in the air. Where it lands, paint a bullseye.

Anything that's too safe is not action.

My investigation of movement has led me to choices which vary from traditional norms. My dancers and I see the rehearsal as a laboratory for testing scientific principles on the body. We invent action ideas which we think are archetypal, noticeable, understandable. The outcome is a mixture of slam dancing, exquisite and amazing human flight and a wild action sport which captures kids, older people and the general public's hearts and minds and bodies.
