SLAM: Streb Lab For Action Mechanics


Tucked away in an unassuming warehouse on a very quiet street in Williamsburg, I happened upon Streb SLAM.





It looks like many of the other old brick warehouses in the neighbor, except for the vibrantly painted door, but the interior has been transformed into a mad playhouse.


Inside. Learning the ropes at the circus skills/acrobatic/physical performance space that is Streb SLAM.


Rope is one of the circus skills they teach here, along with silks, static trapeze, trapeze, and tumbling.



The huge wheels you see in the background are part of the new Streb performance: Streb vs. Gravity,

which is currently touring. Click on the links for dates and times.

The really great thing about this place, is that anyone can sign up for classes and live out childhood (or adult) fantasies of learning Cirque du Soleil type skills.
