SAVE THE DATE for Sean Dorsey Dance’s 22nd Annual Home Season! At this intense time for our communities, Dorsey reminds us that “We Choose Each Other”. Dorsey says, “Choosing each other in these times means sharing care, tenderness, sass and resources.” Sean Dorsey Dance will offer audiences their signature dance-theater, featuring trans and queer beauty, heartbreak, humor and inspiration.
SDD will perform a sneak-peek of their all-new show, PLUS will restage short works from the company’s 20-year award-winning repertoire!
Program information will be announced in early 2026…stay tuned!
