THIS WEEK
Sean Dorsey Dance
BOYS IN TROUBLE
Fri, Sep 27 | 7:30 pm
McCullough Theatre
Trailblazing transgender choreographer Sean Dorsey makes his Austin debut with a new work titled BOYS IN TROUBLE. Performed by Dorsey and his acclaimed dance company, BOYS IN TROUBLE is a timely and urgent commentary on contemporary masculinity. These powerful dances place a trans and queer lens onto intersectional questions of embodiment, violence, black queer love, whiteness, shame and posturing.
Sean Dorsey is celebrated as the nation’s first acclaimed transgender modern dance choreographer. His works have been praised as “exquisite…poignant and important” (BalletTanz), “trailblazing” (San Francisco Chronicle), and “evocative, compelling, elegant” (LA Weekly).
