"Dakshina/Daniel Phoenix Singh Dance Company" Pre-Performance Discussion November 4, 2010

Lorry May, Founding Director of the Sokolow Dance Foundation, and UM Dance Faculty Anne Warren and Alvin Mayes share personal memories and historical information about choreographer Anna Sokolow. Known as one of the most dynamic and uncompromising figures in American modern dance, Sokolow used her art to explore the most pressing issues of her day — the Great Depression, the Holocaust, the alienated youth of the 1960s — and challenged her audiences to think deeply about themselves and their society.
