Dance defines defiance—an artistic legacy at stake

Born in a small town in rural Utah in the 1940s, trailblazing choreographer, dancer, and teacher Bill Evans spent his life transmuting LGBT adversity to modern dance innovation. Now he’s returning to Salt Lake City for a career-culminating retrospective. At 82, facing generational divides and the ghosts of his past, can he inspire a new generation, or will the pressure put an end to his illustrious career?
