Sean Dorsey is an Emmy Award-winning choreographer, dancer, writer, educator, and activist. Long recognized as the U.S.' first acclaimed transgender modern dance choreographer, Dorsey brings his newest work—and his explicitly trans-positive pedagogy—for his Middlebury Performing Arts Series debut. The Lost Art of Dreaming is a full-evening fusion of full-throttle dance, intimate storytelling, intricate costuming, and exquisite queer partnering, all performed with Sean Dorsey Dance's signature technical precision, guts, and deep humanity. Performed by a powerhouse ensemble of five trans, queer, and gender-non-conforming dancers with a rich, layered soundscore featuring original and commissioned music.
