Sokolow Theatre Dance Ensemble

Sokolow Theatre Dance Ensemble New York based Dance Company Ms.

SOKOLOW THEATRE/DANCE ENSEMBLE is a company of dancers founded by long-time Sokolow associate, Jim May, and presently under the artistic directorship of Samantha Geracht. Their aim is to recreate works choreographed by Anna Sokolow, continue her teachings, and develop her artistic vision for the purpose of passing on for posterity Anna Sokolow’s lifetime efforts to combine the arts of theatre, dance, music and painting. Sokolow encouraged artistic growth and the Sokolow Ensemble continues this desire by offering its expertise, knowledge, and experience to new choreographers who are interested in multi-arts projects. In this manner, the ensemble will influence both the past as well as the future, will continue challenging the boundaries of dance by presenting the issues of humanity and strengthening our culture through artistic expression. The Sokolow Ensemble will reach out into the community through teaching and make available archival material through many sources, including libraries, website, gallery showings, interviews, lectures, as well as performances.

CLASS IS BACK
Returning September 11, Beyond Technique is the class for professional dancers, actors, and movers looking to deepen their performance with nuance and authenticity.

Combining modern dance vocabulary, including Limon, Graham, and Humphrey, with Anna Sokolow’s signature style of “method dancing,” Beyond Technique explores how we use internal motivation as the pathway to movement.

In response to the increasing economic challenges facing performing artists, and with thanks to generous donors, we are able to offer classes for $10

“Rooms” is coming to YOU, Philadelphia FringeArts!

Friday, Sep 25, 7:30pm
Saturday, Sep 26, 3pm and 7:30pm

Toeing the line between theater and dance and pulsing to a jazz score by Kenyon Hopkins, “Rooms” reveals the unfulfilled yearning of characters isolated in their small, city apartments.

Sharing the program with us is Dancefusion performing “Threnody” by another modern dance great, Mary Anthony.

“Rooms” is coming to Philadelphia!
ST/DE is joining forces with Dancefusion at the Philly Fringe Festival to present “Rooms/Threnody - Sokolow/Anthony,” celebrating these two giants of modern dance.

“Everything Must Go” is a riot to watch and do, but what are we really thinking about?

The reality is different for each dancer. But all have an interior story, driving their movement and each interaction. That inner “engine” is what makes this Sokolow. 🎭🕺

Modern dance returns to the burlesque stage in “Close Quarters IV”

For one night only, get immersed in the existential world of Franz Kafka, an electrifying ‘80’s dancefloor, sensual solos, and other pieces that prove just how titillating modern dance can be.
