Now in its ninth season, Live Artery is New York Live Arts’ platform for showcasing the works of artists from the Live Arts community during the annual Association of Performing Arts Professionals Conference.

Recognized as the nation’s first acclaimed transgender modern dance choreographer, Sean Dorsey brings the New York City premiere of BOYS IN TROUBLE to Live Arts.  Sean Dorsey Dance’s timely and urgent commentary on contemporary masculinity places a trans and queer lens onto intersectional questions of embodiment, violence, Black queer love, whiteness, shame and posturing.
