In San Francisco for ONE WEEKEND ONLY as part of a 20-city tour! Danced with guts and precision and deep humanity, THE MISSING GENERATION is a powerful dance-theater production based on oral history interviews with longtime survivors of the early AIDS epidemic.

Sean Dorsey created the work over a 2-year period by recording oral history interviews with trans and LGBT longtime survivors and hosting LGBT Community Residencies in cities across the US.
THE MISSING GENERATION features full-throttle dance, luscious partnering, intimate storytelling and theater – performed by an award-winning, multi-generational ensemble of dancers: Sean Dorsey, Brian Fisher, ArVejon A. Jones and Nol Simonse.
Dorsey recorded 75 hours of oral history interviews and spent over 500 hours building a lush, multi-layered soundscore. THE MISSING GENERATION's The Izzies Award-winning soundscore features excerpts of these oral histories -- with original music by Alex Kelly, Jesse Olsen Bay, Ben Kessler and Jeffrey Alphonsus Mooney.
Sean Dorsey is an award-winning transgender and queer choreographer who has toured his work to 26 cities across the US. www.seandorseydance.com
