Fresh Meat Productions presents the world premiere of Lost/Found, Sean Dorsey’s highly-anticipated new concert of dance. Performed by a groundbreaking all-male cast – transgender, gay and straight – Lost/Found dives into life on the margins of masculinity. Masculinity’s newcomers, trespassers, runaways and misfits spill tales of best friends, diary secrets, teen idols, gender disobedience, bullying, loss and faith.
Lost/Found is performed by a stellar cast of dancers: Sean Dorsey, Brian Fisher, James Graham and Adam Venker, with guest artist writer/performers Kirk Read and Max Wolf Valerio.
Dorsey is celebrated for his fusion of modern dance, storytelling and theater and is blazing a trail celebrated by critics and sold-out audiences alike. He is the winner of two Isadora Duncan Dance Awards, the Goldie Award for Performance, prestigious commissions, and praise from New York to Los Angeles. Last year, Dorsey’s acclaimed concert The Outsider Chronicles was met with critical praise, sold-out houses and standing ovations. Advance tickets are recommended: these shows will sell out.
