I am writing a paper about Anna Sokolow, and I'd like to inform you that you got her opening quote wrong. The corrected version is the following:
"I felt a deep social sense about what I wanted to express and whatever affected me deeply, personally, I commented on through dance." -Anna Sokolow
I watched the same video that is quoted in your notes section, but that is what she actually says (meaning what I have written above).
She was an absolutely fabulous women. My other favorite quote of hers is the following: "To young dancers, I want to say: 'Do what you feel you are, not what you think you ought to be Go ahead and be a bastard. Then you can be an artist.'" (from The Modern Dance: Seven Statements of Belief, By Selma Jeanne Cohen. Wesleyan University Press. Middletown, 1966. It is Anna Sokolow's quote originally printed under a different title from Dance Magazine in July 1965)
