Anna Sokolow was a Jewish cultural icon, daughter of immigrants and social activist whose powerful theatrical choreography shaped American modern dance over the course of a 70-year choreographic career.
Zoppe Circus uses only domestic animals – dogs and horses (often rescues) – which are the personal pets of their owners. As family-owned pets, the animals are raised, transported and housed with loving care.
They gave new meaning to the ancient integration of music and dance, pioneered in modern times by Sergey Diaghilev and his colleagues in the Ballets Russes.
