Honoring Education Advocate Mavericks Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni

STREB’s Action Maverick Award Benefit celebrates the heroes who inspire us, and serves as our signature fundraising event, helping us to pursue our mission and sustain our entire organization. Funds raised support Elizabeth Streb’s groundbreaking work through the STREB Extreme Action Company’s performances, which take place at our home in Brooklyn and around the world; our educational partnerships and community engagement programs that inspire and empower the Action Heroes and leaders of tomorrow; and, it ensures accessibility by supporting our scholarship and ticket subsidy programs.

As we continue to navigate the longer term impacts of Covid-19, we need your support to ensure our survival, and to keep our artists and staff safe and employed. Your gift, in any amount, will allow us to:

– Mitigate the financial impact from cancellations, postponements and changes to our programming;
– Keep our artists and staff engaged and employed;
– Ensure access to our programs for all through our ongoing free programming, scholarship programs and community partnerships;
– Continue to invent and innovate so we can inspire and empower our students
– Share the work and legacy of our founder and artistic director, Elizabeth Streb with the world in new innovative ways;
– Keep our community together, connected, and growing.

We are committed to helping everyone stay present, grounded and empowered through this uncertain time. Though this virus might put some physical distance between all of us, we will continue to investigate the inspiring principles and spirit of STREB safely, in the ways we can during this time.

Make a Tax Deductible Donation to STREB!

Your tax deductible gift allows us to continue to invent, experiment, investigate, and awe audiences through the work of our company. It helps us educate, inspire and empower through our education and community partnership programs, and it helps us provide equal access to everything we do for students and families with financial need.

STREB’s mission is to support and perform the work of choreographer Elizabeth Streb. Built around Streb’s organizing principle “Extreme Action,” a movement style that thrills audiences with choreographed feats of physicality, scientifically planned chaos, strength, risk, grace, and elegance, STREB engages diverse audiences and communities via a broad range of performance and education programming that provides access to, and participation in, creation and presentation.
