SUMMARY:Divine Mythologies + Other Luminous Voices
DESCRIPTION:This event: May be of interest to the LGBTQ community || On April 16\, 2026\, Kanopy Dance Opens\nDivine Mythologies:\nAnna Sokolow’s Epic “Odes” + Other Luminous Voices \nA Groundbreaking Collaboration\nBetween Kanopy Dance &\nNYC’s Sokolow Theatre/ Dance Ensemble\nFeaturing a Fusion Performance\nof Anna Sokolow’s Epic “Odes”\nTwo Exciting Modern Dance Companies Performing Together in Two Cities \nApril 16-19\, 2026\nPromenade Hall\, Overture Center for the Arts Madison\, WI\nThursday 7pm\, Friday 7pm\, Saturday 4 & 7pm\, Sunday 2pm\nPromenade Hall\, Overture Center for the Arts\nhttps://www.overture.org /Box Office 608.258.4141 \nSaturday\, April 25 & Sunday\, 26\,2026\, 7PM\nMMAC theater 248 West 60th Street\, New York City.\nhttps://ci.ovationtix.com/36899/production/1265085\nMadison\, WI…February\,22 2026…NYC’s Sokolow Theatre/Dance Ensemble and Madison\, WI based Kanopy Dance will present Divine Mythologies: Anna Sokolow’s Epic “Odes” + Other Luminous Voices (Divine Mythologies) at concerts in Madison\, WI at the Overture Center for the Arts April 16-19\,2026\, and in New York City at the MMAC theater \, April 25 & 26\, 2026. \nThe collaboration marks the first time ever that two companies jointly perform Anna Sokolow’s (Sokolow) epic masterpiece “Odes”\, a 20-minute-long choreography in three sections that debuted in 1965. A luminous vision of humanity inspired by the turbulent world of Greek mythology\, Sokolow’s “Odes” is set to the music of Edgard Varèse\, a progressive French/American composer and acclaimed pioneer of electronic music. \nSokolow (February 9\, 1910 – March 29\, 2000) was an international cultural icon\, daughter of immigrants\, and social activist whose powerful theatrical choreography profoundly shaped the course of modern dance. Her transformative work remains a vital force–a powerful choreographic voice that has never been silenced. \n“Odes” demands intense physical concentration and dramatic depth\, with choreography that poses multiple challenges in timing\, dynamics\, balance\,\nand projection through space. It is a singular artistic challenge that will require the 20 dancers (cast from the two companies) to work in harmony as one—yet sensitively maintain their individuality. \nThe program also features Kanopy co- artistic director’s Lisa Thurrell’s (Thurrell) Ekstasi\, a celestial journey inspired St. Peter’s Basilica\, the cathedral of art in the Vatican City\, that chronicles the ecstasy and the agony of pursuing a divine path or transcendence. Staged against a tableau of Renaissance Baroque masterpieces\, including those of Bernini\, Giotto and Michelangelo\, Thurrell’s choreography artfully lifts the dancers—costumed in ethereal in flowing silks- in their spiritual ascent with a stunning series of ensemble pieces\, a solo and duets. \nAnd Kanopy’s co-artistic director\, Robert E. Cleary\, presents Transformations\, a tumultuous and poignant solo\, examining the search for individual growth and mindfulness. \nDivine Mythologies: Anna Sokolow’s Epic “Odes” + Other Luminous Voices\nMadison\, WI\nApril 16-19\, 2026 (Thursday 7pm\, Friday 7pm\, Saturday 4 & 7pm\, Sunday 2pm)\nOverture Center for the Arts\n201 State Street\nhttps://www.overture.org /Box Office 608.258.4141 \nNew York City\nApril 25 & April 26\,2026\, 7PM\nMMAC theater\n248 West 60th Street\, New York City.\nFor NYC Tickets: https://ci.ovationtix.com/36899/production/1265085 \nAbout Kanopy Dance\nMadison\, WI based Kanopy Dance\, an Overture resident company\, cultivates the dynamic growth of modern dance— advancing important artistic benchmarks by training emerging talent\, presenting original works featuring internationally renowned guest stars\, and creative collaborations.

Over a 70-year career\, Anna Sokolow continuously broke the silo of modern dance\, focusing on the human experience and accessing any genre to fulfill her artistic purpose. Her masterpieces remain relevant to our times and touch the hearts of all people as we struggle with the universal issues of living\, regardless of differences in place and culture. The company’s projects include reconstruction\, reimagination\, deconstruction\, historical performance\, teaching\, lectures\, archiving\, and partnering with contemporary choreographers—all modes through which we step inside Sokolow’s masterworks and draw from this perspective to better frame our future.

SUMMARY:Divine Mythologies + Other Luminous Voices
DESCRIPTION:This event: May be of interest to the LGBTQ community || On April 16\, 2026\, Kanopy Dance Opens\nDivine Mythologies:\nAnna Sokolow’s Epic “Odes” + Other Luminous Voices \nA Groundbreaking Collaboration\nBetween Kanopy Dance &\nNYC’s Sokolow Theatre/ Dance Ensemble\nFeaturing a Fusion Performance\nof Anna Sokolow’s Epic “Odes”\nTwo Exciting Modern Dance Companies Performing Together in Two Cities \nApril 16-19\, 2026\nPromenade Hall\, Overture Center for the Arts Madison\, WI\nThursday 7pm\, Friday 7pm\, Saturday 4 & 7pm\, Sunday 2pm\nPromenade Hall\, Overture Center for the Arts\nhttps://www.overture.org /Box Office 608.258.4141 \nSaturday\, April 25 & Sunday\, 26\,2026\, 7PM\nMMAC theater 248 West 60th Street\, New York City.\nhttps://ci.ovationtix.com/36899/production/1265085\nMadison\, WI…February\,22 2026…NYC’s Sokolow Theatre/Dance Ensemble and Madison\, WI based Kanopy Dance will present Divine Mythologies: Anna Sokolow’s Epic “Odes” + Other Luminous Voices (Divine Mythologies) at concerts in Madison\, WI at the Overture Center for the Arts April 16-19\,2026\, and in New York City at the MMAC theater \, April 25 & 26\, 2026. \nThe collaboration marks the first time ever that two companies jointly perform Anna Sokolow’s (Sokolow) epic masterpiece “Odes”\, a 20-minute-long choreography in three sections that debuted in 1965. A luminous vision of humanity inspired by the turbulent world of Greek mythology\, Sokolow’s “Odes” is set to the music of Edgard Varèse\, a progressive French/American composer and acclaimed pioneer of electronic music. \nSokolow (February 9\, 1910 – March 29\, 2000) was an international cultural icon\, daughter of immigrants\, and social activist whose powerful theatrical choreography profoundly shaped the course of modern dance. Her transformative work remains a vital force–a powerful choreographic voice that has never been silenced. \n“Odes” demands intense physical concentration and dramatic depth\, with choreography that poses multiple challenges in timing\, dynamics\, balance\,\nand projection through space. It is a singular artistic challenge that will require the 20 dancers (cast from the two companies) to work in harmony as one—yet sensitively maintain their individuality. \nThe program also features Kanopy co- artistic director’s Lisa Thurrell’s (Thurrell) Ekstasi\, a celestial journey inspired St. Peter’s Basilica\, the cathedral of art in the Vatican City\, that chronicles the ecstasy and the agony of pursuing a divine path or transcendence. Staged against a tableau of Renaissance Baroque masterpieces\, including those of Bernini\, Giotto and Michelangelo\, Thurrell’s choreography artfully lifts the dancers—costumed in ethereal in flowing silks- in their spiritual ascent with a stunning series of ensemble pieces\, a solo and duets. \nAnd Kanopy’s co-artistic director\, Robert E.
