In this excerpt from the Independent Lens documentary Born to Fly, choreographer Elizabeth Streb debuts her dance troupe’s “Waterfall” performance (which involves bungee jumping off and dancing under the Millennium Bridge) as part of her One Extraordinary Day in London, in tandem with the Summer Olympics. She tells a skeptical reporter who worries that it’s unsafe, “Anything that’s too safe is not action.”
