The Sokolow Theatre/Dance Ensemble, the only New York modern dance company dedicated to the work of the late Anna Sokolow, has undergone a change in artistic directorship to a new generation of dancers with deep experience in the work of the iconoclastic choreographer.
Director Jim May, who inherited the Sokolow repertory in 2000 upon the choreographer’s passing, has announced the company’s artistic direction has been entrusted to long-time Sokolow dancer Samantha Geracht.
The Director of the Sokolow Theatre/Dance Ensemble shares his thoughts about the company’s transition to a new generation of dancer/artistic directors, the state of modern dance today, and the relevance of Anna Sokolow’s work to the 21st century.
