A flyer with a photo featuring six Sean Dorsey Dance dancers, three pairs of dancers hugging each other. Three of the dancers have their backs towards the camera while the other three lovingly embrace their partner, one hand on their partner’s back, the other grasping a letter filled with cursive writing. White text on top of a gold background reads: “Back by audience demand April 11-13.” Black text at the bottom of the image reads: “Sean Dorsey Dance 20th Anniversary Season. April 11-13 (Dance Mission Theater, SF) www.SeanDorseyDance.com.” Near the corner are the symbols for wheelchair access, ASL Interpretation, and KN95 masks.

After a sold-out run in September 2024, Sean Dorsey Dance brings back their 20th Anniversary Home Season! (April 11-13 at Dance Mission Theater, SF). Come celebrate two decades of artistry as the company performs excerpts of audiences’ favorites from the last 20 years.
This powerful retrospective program features works including Lou (2009) based on the lifelong diaries of trailblazing trans activist Lou Sullivan; and excerpts from The Missing Generation (2015) and The Secret History of Love (2012), both based on oral histories Dorsey recorded with LGBTQI+ elders across the US. These 3 works comprised an award-winning trilogy that the company performed and toured to more than 25 cities across the US.
