The Lost Art Of Dreaming is an invitation to reconnect with longing, embrace expansive imagination, connect with joy and pleasure, and propel ourselves toward loving futures. Performed by a powerhouse ensemble of five queer, trans and gender-non-conforming dancers with a rich, layered soundscore featuring original and commissioned music, the work comes to Lewiston as part of a 12+ city international tour.
