The woman whose name took over One Christopher Street was an influential choreographer, teacher, and lecturer. In honor of Anna Sokolow's centenary, Limón Dance Company is performing her masterpiece Rooms with its then-unprecedented jazz score by Kenyon Hopkins. Charles Mingus was a pit musician for Rooms' 1955 premiere, and this study of urban isolation became the first modern dance to be performed on television. Sokolow's good friend Jose Limón, meanwhile, is represented on the program with There Is a Time. Like Rooms, this too is an unforgettable dance about the power of community, tenderly guided by Norman dello Joio's lovely score.
