A pioneer choreographer in modern American dance, Anna Sokolow
has led a bewildering, active international life. Her meticulous
biographer Larry Warren once looked up Anna Sokolow in a few
reference books and found that she was born in three different
years and that her parents were from Poland except when they were
in Russia, and found many other inaccuracies. Drawing on material
from nearly 100 interviews, Larry Warren has created a fascinating
account and assessment of the life and work of Anna Sokolow, whose
nomadic career was divided between New York, Mexico, and Israel.
Setting her work on more than 70 dance companies, Anna Sokolow not
only pioneered the development of a personal approach to movement,
which has become part of the language of contemporary dance, but
also created such masterpieces as Rooms, dealing with loneliness
and alienation, and Dreams, which concerns the inner torment of
victims of the Nazi Holocaust.
