Per i nostri amici italiani
Cari amici oltremare, vi scriviamo per chiedere un piccolo contibuto per la compagnia Sokolow Theatre/Dance Ensemble che sta cercando di raccogliere $5,500 per avere musica dal vivo ai nostri prossimi spettacoli dal 10 al 13 novembre 2011. Le donazioni vengono fatte tramite un sito web (kickstarter) dove chi vuole puo’ donare dei soldi (facendo un pegno); se non si raggiunge la cifra di $5,500 per il 5 novembre il tutto si cancella automaticamente. Anche una piccola contibuzione aiuta!
Lo spettacolo presentera’ una coreografia di Anna Sokolow del 1965 (Odes), che non e’ stata vista dal 1968. Il nostro direttore artistico, Jim May, faceva parte del cast originale, ed e’ un onore per noi imparare da lui questa meravigliosa danza creata per 23 danzatori. Anna Sokolow e’ stata una delle coreografe piu’ influenti del ventesimo secolo negli Stati Uniti: il suo lavoro combina la modern dance con teatro, musica, poesia ed arte. Ha influenzato la grande coreografa tedesca Pina Bausch e ha partecipato nella creazione di molti musicals, incluso il famoso “Hair” negli anni ‘60. Ci ha lasciato nel 2000 a 90 anni; la sua ultima coreografia risale al 1998.
Aiutaci a raggiungere questa cifra e a presentare questa bellissima coreografia con musica dal vivo! Per fare il vostro pegno, cliccate su “back this project” e seguite le istruzioni in inglese. Purtroppo non ci sono istruzioni in italiano. Naturalmente avete bisogno di una carta di credito.
Ringraziamo tutti di cuore!! E ovviamente siete tutti invitati agli spettacoli...:)

SOKOLOW THEATRE/DANCE ENSEMBLE is a company of dancers, presently under the artistic directorship of long-time Sokolow associate, Jim May. 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. Ms. 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.
