The STREB Lab for Action Mechanics (SLAM) opened its garage door more than 20 years ago and, shortly thereafter, founded The España-Streb Trapeze Academy (ESTA). The school reaches kids and adults, five years and older, with a range of experience—working with everyone, from absolute beginners to advanced flyers and helping students achieve individual goals, improve form, and develop style. ESTA programming provides a space for exploration, development, and risk.

Opening in 2005, ESTA was the first indoor flying trapeze space in NYC. Over the past two decades, ESTA has brought together a diverse community of people from beginners to multi-generational circus family members who all share a passion for flying.

Join us at SLAM on Saturday, January 31 to reminisce, reconnect, and celebrate 20 years of ESTA!

Event begins at 4:00pm with performances at 4:30pm. FREE - RSVP required

In January 2003, STREB moved into a vacant former loading facility and transformed 51 North 1st Street into the STREB LAB FOR ACTION MECHANICS (SLAM). In 2007, STREB purchased SLAM with unprecedented support for building acquisition from the New York City’s Department of Cultural Affairs, City Council, Mayor’s Office and Brooklyn Borough President’s Office ensuring its future as the home of STREB EXTREME ACTION, the STREB PopAction School and the Espana/STREB Trapeze Academy. As a performance and presenting venue and an open access education and rehearsal space, SLAM creates community through interaction and experimentation.
