To bring light to the dark of midwinter, Sokolow Theatre/Dance Ensemble is preparing a program of joyful dances created by several generations of choreographers.

Anna Sokolow’s Ballade, perhaps her most lyrical dance, explores the restlessness and inconclusiveness of young love, performed to music by Scriabin. Sokolow’s Preludes, reconstructed by Tonia Shimin, for whom it was created, is a rich and expressive homage to the music of Sergei Rachmaninoff.

Guest director Pamela Levy is reconstructing an excerpt from Claudia Gitelman’s Schubert And The Birds, set to a Schubert Impromptu, a poignant and dynamic work that showcases both Gitelman’s Hanya Holm roots with her own brand of abstract storytelling.

Guest director Gail Corbin is reconstructing excerpts of Charles Weidman’s rarely seen tour de force to the music of J.S. Bach, Christmas Oratorio.

The program will also include a premiere choreographed and performed by ST/DE company members Margaret Brackey and Krista Jansen.
