In 1939, Sokolow began a life-long association with the dance in Mexico and Israel. Her work for the Mexican Ministry Of Fine Arts grew to become the National Academy Of Dance .That sentence does not make sense -- "her work grew to became an academy?? did the Ministry change its name? In Israel , she choreographed for major dance companies, including Batsheva , Inbal , and the Lyric Theatre. Sokolow created works full of dramatic contemporary imagery, revealing the full spectrum of human experience and reflecting the tension and alienation of her time. ''Rooms'' (1955) dealt with urban alienation, while ''Dreams'' (1961) grew from the horrors of the Holocaust. Other major modern dance works included ''Lyric Suite'' (1954), ''Odes'' (1965), and ''Opus 65'' (1965). The Players Project continues to present her work. In a 1965 '' Dance Magazine '' article, Sokolow wrote, " are no final solutions to today's problems, one can simply provoke an audience into an awareness of them." WORKS FOR BROADWAY
