Sean Dorsey Dance’s The Lost Art Of Dreaming makes its Maine Premiere, presented by Bates Dance Festival (BDF)! 

The Lost Art Of Dreaming invites us to reconnect with longing, embrace expansive imagination, connect with joy and pleasure, and propel ourselves toward loving Futures. This work is now on a multi-year 12+ city tour.

This powerful work features 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. Performances will be followed by the lobby experience of Sean Dorsey Dance’s Postcards From The Future and The Futurist Pledge!
