The Sokolow Dance Foundation, established
in 2003 is the only institution exclusively
dedicated to the continuation of the
extraordinary legacy of Anna Sokolow.
Sokolow was one of the most influential,
innovative and inspiring choreographers
of all time. Her interest in the society in
which she lived is evident in her choreographic
themes and the dramatic and social content creates
an impact in her work that resonates with audiences
throughout the world.
Sokolow's unique approach to choreography is the core of
her legacy. It is through PRESERVATION, EDUCATION and
PRESENTATION that the Sokolow Dance Foundation aims
to perpetuate this legacy for future generations.
PRESERVATION
The Sokolow Dance Foundation continually strives to develop its archive
by researching and reclaiming repertory from both the public and private sectors.
The archive is open to the public for viewing and/or research by appointment only.
EDUCATION
The Sokolow Dance Foundation's commitment to sharing the creative and integrity
of Anna Sokolow's choreography is the driving force behind the development
of three unique education programs plus standard residencies and master classes.
PRESENTATION
SOKOLOW NOW!, the only performing archival company of its kind, keeps Anna Sokolow's
extraordinary legacy and vision alive by presenting stunning contemporary
theatrical stagings of her original choreography.
The Sokolow Dance Foundation owns and administers the complete catalogue of
Sokolow's choreography which is available for reconstruction to
professional companies, youth/children's ensembles and university/college dance companies.
