Our action heroes are hard at work re-creating some classic solos from the archives to perform at the Pillow. Above, Jackie (left) and Brigitte (right) tackle POLE VAULTS which Elizabeth Streb (center, Credit: Lois Greenfield, 1983) first created in 1978. Check out more clips of our heroes in action (see here and here) as they take on other early solos including 7 Minutes and 43 Seconds (1978), ADD, WHIPLASH & TARGET (1983). Stay tuned for more from rehearsals as the company tackles some challenging group repertory from the 90s, 00s!

Anne Bogart and Elizabeth Streb revisit the creation of FALLING & LOVING, the "straight up beautiful and incredibly funny" work by SITI and STREB (NYTimes). In a conversation moderated by Lisa Donmall-Reeve, producer of the award-winning documentary UPROOTED, this virtual event presented by Columbia Festival of the Arts will feature behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage and insights into the collaboration between two titans of contemporary performance.
