Celebrating two decades of groundbreaking artistry Sean Dorsey Dance kicks off their 20th Anniversary Home Season September 19th to 21st at Z Space in San Francisco, CA. For the first time in Sean Dorsey Dance’s entire history the company will revisit & perform excerpts of audience’s favorites from the last 20 years. This powerful retrospective program will feature 2 decades of their award-winning artistry with works including Lou (2009) based on the lifelong diaries of trailblazing transgender activist Lou Sullivan & excerpts from The Missing Generation (2015) & The Secret History of Love (2012) both based on oral histories Dorsey recorded with LGBTQ elders across the US. These 3 works comprised an award-winning trilogy that the company has performed & toured in more than 25 cities across the US. These dances are powerful explorations of human experience featuring Dorsey’s signature fusion of full-throttle dance, luscious queer partnering, theater & intimate storytelling. Highly physical, accessible, rooted in story & danced with precision & guts with deep humanity Dorsey’s work has boldly created new space for transgender & LGBTQ voices in contemporary dance.
