Anna Sokolow’s epic work, Odes (1965), is a luminous vision of humanity, inspired by the turbulent world of Greek mythology. Odes requires over 20 dancers, so the Sokolow Theatre/Dance Ensemble began another of its many collaborations with Kanopy Dance of Madison, WI, in the summer of 2025. The collaboration will come to fruition in April, 2026, when ST/DE and Kanopy Dance will perform Odes together in a program titled “Divine Mythologies” at the Overture Center in Madison and the MMAC Theater in New York City.
The program will also feature Ekstasi, choreographed by Kanopy Dance Co-Artistic Director Lisa Thurrell, a celestial journey inspired by St. Peter’s Basilica, the cathedral of art in the Vatican City. Ekstasi chronicles the ecstasy and the agony of pursuing a divine path or transcendence. And Kanopy Dance Co-Artistic Director Robert E. Cleary presents Transformations, a tumultuous yet beautiful passage through change and growth of an individual spirit.
