Porch View Dances 2019
Porch View Dances (PVD): Real People Dancing In Real Spaces is returned to the Seaton Village neighbourhood for the 8th year in a row, in partnership with St. Alban's Boys & Girls Club and the Miles Nadal JCC! This time round Seaton Village porches have become a Toronto performance platform, welcoming participants from around our city.
PORCH 1 (Choreographed by Aria Evans)
For the third year in a row Jim and Owen Adams, an Indigenous father and son have embarked on a PVD series of what it means to be an Indigenous family in the city. This year they will be creating a piece for Jim to perform about dreams, memory, and loss.
PORCH 2 (Choreographed by Shannon Litzenberger)
A unique group of friends and strangers unite in their shared love of dance, art, and community. They are looking forward to strengthening existing friendships and making new ones.
PORCH 3 (Choreographed by Karen Kaeja and Allen Kaeja)
A mother/daughter duo are looking forward to a magical bonding experience and sharing their dance with the community; while their story is unique, the themes are universal and will resonate with all.
