 ny dedicated to providing audiences with an opportunity to experience the 
 powerful choreography of internationally renowned choreographer Anna Sokol
 ow. This year's annual dance concert\, entitled Black & White\, is compris
 ed of three works created by Sokolow in the 1980's. The first work\, Every
 thing Must Go\, is Sokolow's commentary on American society. Themes of str
 ong minimal movement\, set against intricate spatial patterns\, tell stori
 es of severe poverty\, blatant consumerism\, and public indifference to th
 eir neighbor's plight. Inspired by the music of Russian composer Sergei Ra
 chmaninoff\, Sokolow used his piano preludes to choreograph the second wor
 k on the program\, Homage to Rachmaninoff. Sokolow's lyrical imagery bring
 s this passionate music to life\, creating the perfect homage to the last 
 of the great romantic composers. The program closes with From the Diaries 
 of Franz Kafka\, a major theatrical dance work. Typical of this dance-thea
 ter genre\, for which Sokolow is internationally celebrated\, From the Dia
 ries of Franz Kafka marries text\, imagery and music to convey the struggl
 es of this major 20th century writer. Members of Sokolow Now! performing i
 n the 2012 annual concert are Amy Burns\, Adrienne Crombie\, John Crampton
 \, Suellen Haag\, Mark Kranz\, Haley Kenney\, Tabitha Liversidge\, Kirsten
  McKinney\, Mat Tucker and Mallory Walker. The Sokolow Dance Foundation\, 
 based in Attleboro\, MA\, was established in 2003 by Lorry May who is the 
 leading reconstructor of Anna Sokolow's choreography. The foundation's div
 erse educational and cultural programs\, lectures\, classes and performanc
 es serve as major platforms for the continuation of Sokolow's legacy. Soko
 low Now!\, the foundation's professional dance company\, travels extensive
 ly throughout the east coast presenting theatrical performances\, giving l
 ecture/demonstrations\, and participating in the many dance festival held 
 within the Boston-area. 'Anna [Sokolow] proved that social dance forms hav
 e an inherent dramatic power when\nthey are artfully used as an expression
  of the society that created them.'\n(Clive Barnes\, New York Times) Sokol
 ow Now! is the only dance company exclusively performing the repertory of 
 the celebrated choreographer Anna Sokolow. Their passion for the work is e
 vident in their stunning\, unparalleled theatrical stagings of Sokolow's o
 riginal choreography. More information on the company and the foundation c
