Celebrate Brooklyn! Celebrate STREB!

The bar exam has taken me into a dark black hole of no posting FUN! But my twitter is doing well! www.twitter.com/facnyb

BUT I had to post about the below event as STREB seriously, seriously rocks my world. If I could run away and join anything, it would be them! Videos of this gravity-defying troupe here.

STREB: Invisible Forces
Prospect Park Bandshell
Thursday, July 9, 8:00 P.M.
Gates open at 7:00 P.M.

STREB, the seminal, Williamsburg-based acrobatic company, celebrates summer in Brooklyn with Invisible Forces, which combines the thrills of the circus and the velocity of the Indy 500 in one Action event. The show features STREB's new Action Platform, a 20-foot, rotating floor; the EspaƱa Whizzing Gizmo; and the two-dimensional vertical pipe grid, Airlines. The result is a singular spectacle in which beautiful bodies engage with sexy hardware, exemplifying what The Village Voice recently said of the company: "Streb's unique movement art-kin to sport, circus, physics experiment, and hard labor-has reached a peak of theatricality and dare-all virtuosity."

All Celebrate Brooklyn! performances are free with a $3 suggested contribution
