This month sees the SEAN DORSEY DANCE’S 22nd Annual Home Season ‘WE CHOOSE EACH OTHER’, which will treat audiences to a “sneak peek” of their new show-in-development, performing the world premiere of several new dances; the company will also restage pieces from the company’s 20-year award-winning repertoire!

Emmy Award Winner Dorsey says, “We know this: again and again, when our communities are under attack and in crisis, when we are being harmed, we choose each other. We choose to hold each other up, we choose to hold each other more tightly. That is what these dances are about – coming together out of deep care and love for each other

Dorsey is widely recognized as the United States’ first acclaimed transgender modern dance choreographer. and his San Francisco-based dance company incorporates transgender and LGBTQ+ themes into all of their works.  Dorsey is also the founder and artistic director of Fresh Meat Productions, a non-profit organization. that creates and commissions new work, presents performing arts programs, conducts education and engagement, and advocates for justice and equity in the Arts.

This new program will include a special restaging of excerpts from The Missing Generationa powerful dance-theater work that gives voice to longtime survivors of the early AIDS epidemic. The show is a love letter to a forgotten generation of transgender and LGBTQ survivors – people who witnessed and experienced the loss of part of an entire generation to AIDS in the 1980s and 1990s.  Dorsey created the work over a 2-year period after recording 75 hours of oral history interviews with transgender and LGBTQ survivors of the early AIDS epidemic, conducting extensive archival research, and hosting LGBTQ Community Residencies in 6 cities across the US.
