At STREB, all partnerships are thoughtfully undertaken, as we work closely with our partners to develop a program that meets the needs and interests of their communities. Some partnerships are more action based, focused on experiencing the physicality of PopAction, creation, and choreography, while others are focused on arts appreciation with a rehearsal visit and discussion with Elizabeth Streb and the dancers.

At STREB, we believe movement is for everyone. This past season, we welcomed students and young people from across Brooklyn to SLAM to experience PopAction and Trampoline technique firsthand—with performances, workshops, and field trips led by our company of Action Heroes.

These events reflect long-standing relationships and exciting new partnerships with organizations that serve immigrant youth and communities.

Brave House

SLAM SHOW INCLUSIVE – Performance + PopAction/Trampoline Class
April 12, 2025

We were thrilled to welcome members of Brave House back to SLAM this past April for a performance of Do Not Try This At Home followed by a movement experience of their own. After the show, the group met STREB’s Action Heroes and took part in a hands-on PopAction/Trampoline class where they explored the same bold techniques they’d just seen onstage.

This annual outing is a cherished part of Brave House’s year—a chance for their members to connect, take risks, and move together in a space where they feel fully supported.

Check out their recap of the night here!

Brave House SLAM Show Inclusive

First Tech Fund

PopAction Workshop at SLAM
January 28, 2025

In January, we welcomed students from First Tech Fund to SLAM for a 1.5-hour PopAction workshop. These high schoolers jumped right into class with STREB company members—diving, dodging, and learning what it means to take action through movement.

This was STREB’s second time partnering with First Tech Fund, and we were excited to see familiar faces and meet new ones. As their organization transitions into new leadership, we’re hopeful this tradition will continue.

This programming was made possible in part by support from public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in Partnership with the City Council. We thank them for the help expanding access to arts and movement experiences for immigrant communities across New York City.

FIELD TRIPS

Elementary, middle and high school classes, university and community groups come to SLAM for an immersive experience that introduces participants to all things SLAM — open rehearsals, discussion with company members, behind-the-scenes tech tours and classes in PopAction technique and circus arts and popcorn!

Arrange a group visit to a STREB EXTREME ACTION rehearsal. All Company rehearsals are free and open to the public, but a group visit can be arranged to also include a focused conversation with Elizabeth Streb and the Action Heroes where your group will get a peek into the creative process.

IN SCHOOL RESIDENCIES

Each year, STREB collaborates with schools and community groups both at their homes and at SLAM to design programs that encourage participants to explore, exchange, create and connect.

Semester and year-long residencies allow students to participate in weekly sessions in school—scaffolding on a dance or a physical education curriculum—with a team of STREB Action Heroes. School residencies may culminate in a field trip or a performance for peers, teachers and families.

THIS PROGRAM IS SUPPORTED, IN PART, BY THE NEW YORK STATE COUNCIL ON THE ARTS WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR AND THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE.
