From the Diaries of Franz Kafka (1981)
One of Ms. Sokolow’s most handsome weavings into theater-dance of works of art and literature. A re-creation with brutal conviction of the writer’s sense of chill isolation in an overbearing world.
Works for large groups
Odes (1965)
A luminous, searing vision of humanity, unsparing in its demands for intense physical concentration and dramatic depth.
Ride the Culture Loop (1975)
A bus route through New York’s patchwork of ethnic neighborhoods was the inspiration for this dance, jazz being the aural equivalent of the alienation and social schisms Sokolow was exploring.
