Auditions for Streb Extreme Action Company
Streb is looking for performers for part-time, paid positions. Employment will start immediately.
We are interested in seeing people with professional-level training in any form of action including dancers, acrobats, athletes, gymnasts, martial artists, etc. You must be comfortable with physical heights, impact, falls, and extreme aerobic activity. Tumbling experience is a plus but not a requirement.
Please bring:
- Clothes you find comfortable and easy to move in.
- A performance resume and a resume reflecting any other kind of professional work you have done or skills you may possess.
- A recent photo or head shot.
Since its inception in 1985, Streb has traveled, artistically as well as geographically, from the heights of the experimental dance world to the cutting-edge of popular entertainment. Streb has been commissioned by the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Mayor of London to participate in the London 2012 Festival. In 2011, Streb performed sold-out shows at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, the Whitney Museum of American Art's downtown groundbreaking,
and at the River to River Festival. The company has performed in theaters large and small and served as artists-in-residence at the world's top art museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Los Angeles MOCA, the Wexner Center in Columbus, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Streb Extreme Action has also appeared in numerous free public performances throughout New York City. Streb's company
members have accrued endless art-world awards. The action-engineers of Streb are top-notch performers, with years of training in ballet, modern dance, martial arts, acrobatics and the circus arts. When not touring the world, Streb company's home is SLAM, the Streb Lab for Action Mechanics, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. At SLAM, we rehearse, hold classes for children and adults, and perform works-in-progress for the community. SLAM is open to the public and everyone and anyone is encouraged
to observe rehearsals.
