All performances are at 7:30P at the New York State Theater

STREB

With not-quite-real action heroes having taken over the silver screen and extreme sports introduced to the Olympics, it's not too surprising that extreme dance has entered the lexicon with the introduction of Elizabeth Streb's powerful, electrifying and fearless choreography. The troupe performs STREB vs Gravity, in which "whether flying, falling, or seemingly suspended in mid-air, [they] fearlessly challenge nature, creating a new aesthetic of grace and danger." To get a taste of STREB's work you can put an eyeball on a video promo for Wild Blue Yonder

All performances are at 7:00P at the LaGuardia High School Drama Theater

Emanuel Gat Dance

Israeli choreographer Emanuel Gat's dance group presents a program of two stimulating works, The Rite of Spring and Winter Voyage. While Gat might give a nod to the Stravinsky/Nijinksy Le Sacre du Printemps, he challenges the audiences complacency to this odd-woman-out dance by setting the dancers against the visceral beat of salsa. Plus Winter Voyage, a work set to Schubert's Winterreisse

Wednesday July 12th, Friday July 14th, Saturday July 15th

All performances at 9:00P at the LaGuardia High School Concert Hall

Goran Bregovic's Wedding and Funeral Band and Orchestra
