 CALENDAR SEAN DORSEY DANCE at THE MAY DAY FESTIVAL CounterPULSE's 4th Anniversary Festival
Sean Dorsey Dance is thrilled to celebrate CounterPULSE's 4th anniversary and perform at the May Day Festival. Sean Dorsey and Nol Simonse perform Perfect Day, a duet excerpt from 'Lou,' a suite of dances based on the lifelong journals of Lou Sullivan that premiered this year at Dorsey's Uncovered: The Diary Project concert. Lou Sullivan (1951-1991) was a transsexual gay man who lived in San Francisco and was a trailblazing activist, organizer and writer. Before his death, Sullivan bequeathed 30 years of his journals, letters and papers to the GLBT Historical Society in order to leave a companion for other transgender people, to educate and open minds, and to ensure that the progress he had struggled a lifetime for would not be lost. To create 'Lou,' Dorsey researched, compiled and distilled 30 years of Sullivan's journal writings into an original soundscore and choreographed a suite of dances based on Sullivan's remarkable journey. Perfect Day is a love duet set during Lou's final days before his death from AIDS. Don't miss this incredible gathering of twenty-five of the Bay Area's hottest dance companies, theater companies, spoken-word artists and musicians performing over three days to raise money for CounterPULSE-at their BIGGEST birthday ever!
