"...it’s incredibly well written, blazingly articulate, brimming with ideas regarding space, time, movement—as if Martha Graham and Albert Einstein had a love child and named her Streb; like Batman and Robin gave her the secret code to how to explain all that happens behind KAPOW, SPLAT, and ZOWIE."
"Fearlessness and intelligence combined—that is what makes Elizabeth Streb's work so potent and beautiful."
"Elizabeth courts danger, tricks the eye, and thrills the spirit. She is a dynamic force. She's superhuman. She's Superwoman."
"in this inspiring and passionate book, ultra-tenacious Elizabeth shares with the reader some of her surrealist goals: leaving a room through the walls; never landing after jumping; and moving so fast that you stand still. Wow!"
"A daring, fiery rebel against constraints on mind and body? A brilliant prophet of a new metaphysics and physics of dance? Elizabeth is all this, and more. Against all odds, she made herself a great, original artist. Now she takes flight while staying rooted in the soil of the hard-working practioner. STREB is her irreplaceable story."
personal ideas: This is a book that I think the movement is the first and fundamental of expression of human. In the development of human civilization, human are always trying to record and express feelings and experience.
The posture in lots of great dance performance are very artistic, it is delivering the visually beauty of rhythm.
I think there's lots of curiosity and brave inside Streb's heart, which I really like about. She is a real action artist.
Streb always liked to do something new in her dance, and she thought that When you are attempting to create something new, the investigations can get stuck in the brain and often find no escape there, especially when the idea is invisible as it is while contending with extreme actions, forces, and time. She have found it to be a fruitful idea to agree to get hurt a bit or more than a bit, in the search for a real move. This “real move” is the holy grail of the act, the heart of the machine, the virus in the Petri dish. This alone tells the truth of where, when, what, and how.
回复删除I think artist should always find something new in their field, because innovate is the most important elements to improve art. However, Streb did it and she always looking for something new and created new.
