ABSTRACT
Elizabeth Streb’s choreography does not look much like other current dance. While compellingly physical, it is not at all ‘dancerly’; its technical vocabulary-created anew, depending on the task the dancers are to perform-seems to have more in common with that of the gymnast, the circus aerialist, or the astronaut than with conventional dance. But it is also firmly rooted in the ideology of American postmodern dance.
