Sokolow Now! is a performing archival dance company dedicated to providing audiences with an opport unity to experience the powerful choreography of internationally renow ned choreographer Anna Sokolow. This year’s annual dance concert, en titled Black & White, is comprised of three works created by Sokolow i n the 1980’s. The first work, Everything Must Go, is Sokolow’s co mmentary on American society. Themes of strong minimal movement, set a gainst intricate spatial patterns, tell stories of severe poverty, bla tant consumerism, and public indifference to their neighbor’s plight . Inspired by the music of Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, Soko low used his piano preludes to choreograph the second work on the prog ram, Homage to Rachmaninoff. Sokolow’s lyrical imagery brings this p assionate music to life, creating the perfect homage to the last of th e great romantic composers. The program closes with From the Diaries of Franz Kafka, a major theatrical dance work. Typical of this dance-t heater genre, for which Sokolow is internationally celebrated, From th e Diaries of Franz Kafka marries text, imagery and music to convey the struggles of this major 20th century writer. Members of Sokolow Now! performing in the 2012 annual concert are Amy Burns, Adrienne Crombie , John Crampton, Suellen Haag, Mark Kranz, Haley Kenney, Tabitha Liver sidge, Kirsten McKinney, Mat Tucker and Mallory Walker. The Sokolow D ance Foundation, based in Attleboro, MA, was established in 2003 by Lo rry May who is the leading reconstructor of Anna Sokolow’s choreogra phy. The foundation’s diverse educational and cultural programs, lec tures, classes and performances serve as major platforms for the conti nuation of Sokolow’s legacy. Sokolow Now!, the foundation’s profes sional dance company, travels extensively throughout the east coast pr esenting theatrical performances, giving lecture/demonstrations, and p articipating in the many dance festival held within the Boston-area.\n \"Anna [Sokolow] proved that social dance forms have an inherent dram atic power when\nthey are artfully used as an expression of the societ y that created them.\" (Clive Barnes, New York Times)\n Sokolow Now! i s the only dance company exclusively performing the repertory of the c elebrated choreographer Anna Sokolow.
