Sean Dorsey Dance’s multi-year project The Lost Art Of Dreaming is an invitation to embrace expansive imagination, reconnect with longing, connect with joy and pleasure, and propel ourselves toward loving futures. This new full-evening work is a 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. The Lost Art Of Dreaming is performed by a powerhouse ensemble of five trans, queer, and gender-non-conforming dancers (Sean Dorsey, Brandon Graham, Héctor Jaime, David Le, Nol Simonse) with a rich, layered soundscore featuring original and commissioned music.
