Elizabeth Streb has been called "superhuman"--her choreography more extreme sport than dance performance. Pushing boundaries, testing limits, redefining pain and strength; this is what she does every day, and her work has received multiple awards, including the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Award.
In her new book from the Feminist Press, Streb explains how she came to dance as a method of expression, and why action matters. She joins Laura in studio for a special interview and discussion of action, dance, art and culture in society, and when it was that she first knew she wanted to fly.
Absolutely loved your interview with Elizabeth. And of course you know how much I love and admire you both. I passed it along to everyone.
Ciao bella,
Elaine

Aren’t Flanders and Streb personal life partners? I don’t see any reference to this in this listing and I didn’t hear it mentioned in the Grit Radio story. What kind of journalistic ethics is this?

She actually mentioned it in the introduction to the piece, but we’re sorry if that wasn’t clear enough.

Good looking out for your woman Flanders. I don’t see a problem with Streb being
on the program. I think GRITtv would have had her on relationship (w/LF)or not.
I’m going to read Streb’s book and check out her show. Love GRITtv.
