He has applied his fascination with and knowledge of dance, design, movement and space to design and build a kit of Lego-like objects for use by the National Dance Lab. The lab is collaborating with UC Berkeley in a pilot project on campus that gives choreographers the chance to pursue research without having to perform, while creating a forum for public observation and contribution. A Berkeley native who earned a master's degree in anthropology at Columbia University, Stromberg wrote his thesis on dance. Streb sought input from UC Berkeley professors in architecture, physics, chemistry, engineering and mathematics about movement and action. She has a vocabulary of moves that is so pure.
Kids really relate.
But children should not mimic her work at home, unprotected. Streb and her dancers are known for their daring, limit-testing physical feats. To this end, Stromberg offered his architectural design services. Copyright 2000 UC Regents. All rights reserved.
