Take Dorsey's latest, and typically ambitious, ongoing project "The Lost Art of Dreaming." It's a colorful, multifarious invitation to restore the universal value of imagining a future for queer and trans people. Projecting ourselves into a utopian world-through movement, music, incantation, communion, connection, performance, even cosmology-is what sustains hope for at least some of that utopia to manifest. His full-throttle vision of a participatory theater of queer-trans liberation encompasses so much more than sitting in the dark, passively watching stories about you enfold.
I felt called to create a show that in turn calls us to return to the Source of all things: longing. Gravity, magnetism, love, orbiting planets-everything in creation is driven by the pull of longing. And our desires and dreams are a living force that deserve our collective love and attention, especially if we are seeking justice and liberation. And let us not forget about JOY! In the face of such escalating hate and violence against our communities, we NEED joy, we need pleasure, we need love and we need each other.
