"Lorry May, a former Sokolow dancer
who reconstructed and staged the
work, ("Rooms") deserves much
of the credit for its effectiveness.
She completely reprogrammed
these contemporary dancers to
capture Sokolow's early modern,
Martha Graham-inflected
movement style, and yet she
gave them the freedom to
interpret the steps with their
own emotional sensibilities.
May's coaching gave "Rooms"
the authenticity and intimacy
that make it so powerful."
