Beautiful Isolation - Kanopy Dance Compnay's 2017-18 Season "Dance into the Light" at Oveture Center for the Arts

Kanopy Dance Company 2017-2018 Season “Dance Into the Light”

Beautiful Isolation
Presented by Custer Plumb Financial Services

A woman sits alone in an evening dress attempting to relive her romantic past.
Couples dance together, oblivious to the plight of their fellow countrymen.
Through both original pieces and masterworks the anguish of the human condition is presented in dance with startling and loving clarity.

Experience the unique vision of iconic American choreographer Anna Sokolow, from the stark simplicity of her “Lyric Suite” to her meditation on alienation in the modern world in “Escape.” Then consider the contemporary world in Robert E. Cleary’s “This is Not America,” and Lisa Thurrell’s uplifting “Partita & Chorales.”

Re-staging of Anna Sokolow’s “Lyric Suite” licensed through Sokolow Theatre Dance Ensemble.
Pre-Show Talk Opening Night

Masterworks: Anna Sokolow’s “Lyric Suite,” and excerpt “Escape” from “Rooms”

Guest Artists: Samantha Geracht & Jim May the Artistic Directors of Sokolow Theatre Dance Ensemble, NYC.
