FRESH MEAT IN THE PRESS:

“history in the making”
(Bay Area Reporter)

“outstanding…joyful…irreverent”
(Critical Dance)

“fierce and fine-tuned”
(Bay Area Reporter)

“This annual Queer Arts Festival favorite [Fresh Meat] is one of San Francisco’s most entertaining and eclectic events – made all the cooler because the artists push transgender and queer performance boundaries to the limits.”
(San Francisco Bay Guardian)

“the extremely popular trans and queer cabaret was all about creating, and delighting in, the sheer good art that can come out of queer tensions.”
(San Francisco Bay Guardian)

“securing its place in history as a springboard of the interdisciplinary revolution”
(Bay Area Reporter)

“wildly popular … a dizzying lineup of performances, from aerialist feats to homo hip hop and straight, er, traditional theater, each with its own take on gender”
(SF Weekly)

SEAN DORSEY DANCE IN THE PRESS:

“exquisite…poignant and important”
 - BalletTanz

“trailblazing”
 - San Francisco Chronicle

“astonishing”
 - New York Dance Insider

“breathtaking…tearjerking and hilarious”
 - San Francisco Bay Guardian

“boundlessly gifted…flawless dance”
 - Bay Area Reporter

“I’m an elder of the transgender community, and Sean Dorsey is my pride and joy. His sensitivity to the pain that comes with transformation is as compassionate as any Zen master’s. His deadpan comic timing, his skill at seduction, his charm and boyish sexiness all make us – his audience – love him all the more. Dorsey choreographs and performs…with a skill that rivals Mark Morris.”
 - Kate Bornstein

“words and gestures drenched with the kind of raw honesty that’s made Dorsey an artistic force to reckon with”
 - SF Weekly

“stunning dance”
 - Bay Times

“Sean Dorsey is…the most refreshing phenomenon in dance theater hereabouts”
 - BalletTanz

“Dorsey’s intelligent and evocative work helps build a frame of reference to enable viewers to experience dance outside of gender. At the same time, Dorsey is helping create a movement vocabulary to signal a newly gendered body. These conscious choices form an important contribution to the process of queering modern dance.”
 - Critical Dance

“I can’t remember the last time I saw so much tenderness, romanticism, delicacy of feeling, tentative grace, truth of gesture, human longings for loyalty, affection, and abiding relationship surrounded by such claims to be shocking, bold, futurist, subversive.”
 - DanceView Times
