Born To Fly Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity

Catherine Gund (US/UK, 2014, 82 min) Elizabeth Streb has been crafting a unique and intensely powerful intersection of action, art, and dance in a visually breathtaking and acrobatic performance that illuminates the power of the human body and the true force of movement. Openly gay Streb also utilizes men and women equally in her choreography, which results in a gender fluid display of power unlike anything you have ever seen. Combining vérité footage of Streb preparing her troupe for a retrospective of her work and an ambitious series of performance pieces for the London Olympics with interviews of Streb and her dancers, as well as archival footage of her own action-dance performances, BORN TO FLY is as exhilarating to watch as it is profoundly reflective of gender, power, movement, body, flight, and the boundaries that can be pushed in the pursuit of the extreme.
