Item Description
Have you dreamed of flying through the air with the greatest of ease like a circus performer? This item is for you! Bid on a trapeze class at The España-STREB Trapeze Academy.
All participants are evaluated individually, and are taught at their own pace by our trained instructors. For more experienced flyers, The Espana-STREB TRAPEZE ACADEMY allows you to work more intensively on specific tricks or to master the ones you know, and learn the ones you dream of doing. Our team of instructors can help you achieve your individual goals by giving you tips and techniques to improve your form and personal style.
The STREB-España collaboration began in 1998 when Elizabeth Streb joined forces with Noe and Ivan Espana to create new work which explored their mutual fascination with the possibilities of human flight. Since then, this relationship has taken technical experimentation and innovation to a new level.
Noe and Ivan Españas' contribution to STREB and SLAM can be seen in their custom-designed trapeze rig, the specialized hardware and rigging mechanisms they've invented which are at the core of many of Elizabeth's choreographic explorations and the inspiration and entre they've provided into new worlds of action possibilities.
"For Noe and Ivan, taking flight is an essential element in all of their work. I have learned a great deal from them as we experimented collaboratively on works which explore the concept of vertical flight. Noe and Ivan understand, in an essential, almost instinctual way, how machinery and man can interface to push the boundaries of human physicality. It is with them, as inventors, engineers, advisors and directors, that I envision approaching a realistic way to convey lateral flight -a considerably more difficult to approach domain -on the stage."(Elizabeth Streb)
