Episode 6: Sean Dorsey

Sean Dorsey is recognized as one of the country's first acclaimed transgender modern dance choreographers and the first transgender artist to appear on the cover of Dance Magazine. Sean not only presents his own work through Sean Dorsey dance, but is also the artistic director of  Fresh Meat Productions which invests in the creative expression and cultural leadership of transgender and gender-nonconforming communities.

He was most recently featured in KQED's If Cities Could Dance series, which not only profiled his career but also presented filmic reinterpretations of his stage work. We discuss how choreographic material changes when brought from stage to film back to stage as well as his dreams for the future of trans artists in dance and dance film.
