Sean Dorsey explores masculinity and challenges a dance world built on 'assumed heterosexuality and cisgender, gender-conforming body and identity.'
Sean Dorsey, artistic director and dancer in the production of"Boys in Trouble," at Highways Performance Space.
On Friday and Saturday, Dorsey and his company will perform the evening-length work at the Highways Performance Space, the queer-centric venue in Santa Monica. “The work is very much of our bodies and bones and blood,” Dorsey said. “I'm shaping it and directing it, but everyone's humanity is really just super interwoven into the work.”Dorsey and company are about halfway through touring “Boys in Trouble” to more than 20 cities. They are performing the work in major cities but also in small, conservative communities.
Although his company is in its 15th season, has received numerous accolades, has performed at the celebrated Joyce Theater in New York and has toured abroad, Dorsey recalled the profound isolation of the early days of his career. In 2004 he launched Sean Dorsey Dance, a company where he could explore the experiences of transgender and LGBTQ community. Its works include 2009’s “Uncovered: The Diary Project,” which featured a suite of dances based on journals from Bay Area trans and gay activist Lou Sullivan, and 2015’s “The Missing Generation” about forgotten LGBTQ survivors of the AIDS epidemic.
