I thought it was boring and I didn't like the story. There was no intermision so you could not leave. The dancing was ok.Written on Aug 15 2011

Lovely time at Highways - haven't been in years and glad to be back. Sean Dorsey Dance's "Uncovered" was moving and thought provoking. I learned about someone I never knew about through body movement - what a wonderful delivery all around. I would recommend both Highways Performance Space and this dance collective.Written on Aug 15 2011

Description
Trailblazing transgender choreographer Sean Dorsey (winner of two Isadora Duncan Dance Awards and the Goldie Award for Performance) and a gorgeous cast of dancers chase the naked truth in Uncovered: The Diary Project. Uncovered features two dances: ‘Lou’, a dance based on the lifelong journals of Lou Sullivan (1951-1991), a pioneering transgender activist; and ‘Lost/Found,’ the story of an imaginary boyhood based on a very real diary.
To create ‘Lou’, Dorsey researched the lifelong journals of Lou Sullivan, a transsexual gay man who was a trailblazing activist, organizer and writer. Before his death from AIDS, Sullivan bequeathed 30 years of his journals 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 this collection, 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.
Performed by a gorgeous cast of dancers: Sean Dorsey, Juan De La Rosa, Brian Fisher and Nol Simonse. Original music by Shawna Virago, Storm Florez and Ben Kessler.
