STREB Laboratory for Action Mechanics, known as SLAM, is a performing arts organization based in Brooklyn, New York. Founded in 2003 by Elizabeth Streb, it develops a movement vocabulary that blends dance with elements of athletics, boxing, rodeo, the circus, and Hollywood stunt-work, pursuing the display of movement in its unadorned form through what Streb terms PopAction. The organization maintains an open, community-facing approach, inviting the public to watch rehearsals, take classes, and learn to fly through movement. It combines PopAction with KidAction and Circus Arts to form a multidisciplinary practice within the performing arts. By presenting performances and offering community-accessible classes in movement and acrobatics, SLAM serves both audiences and local participants in Brooklyn.
