Porch View Dances 2014: Seaton Village

In 2014, PVD returned to Seaton Village for the 3rd year in a row. Louis Laberge-Côte worked with the Rose family, Peter Chin choreographed a porch dance for the 797 Euclid family and some of their neighbours, Allen created a new piece with the Thompson-Campbell family, and Lauren Cook worked with community participants Leah, Ella, Simona, Peri, April, and Lee. The traditional vignettes and Flock Landing were also included.
