Real People Dancing in Real Spaces
Traditionally, PVD pairs professional choreographers with community members to reveal stories of lives lived through original dances performed on their front porches and yards. For 2020, we invited all of our past Porch View Dances choreographers to bring their own personal stories alive on their porches, balconies, and front yards. You are guaranteed an intimate view of who these brilliant artists are, as they unearth and capture this moment in time with their families and co-habitants. Featuring 17 new commissions by 20 fantastic choreographers! The event had live, virtual ASL interpretation and closed captioning.
Porch Light Campaign
This special campaign paired donors with 1 of 16 commissioned projects for a behind-the-scenes look at this year’s Porch View Dances: Online. THANK YOU to all of our amazing Porch Light donors for helping us keep the porch lights on!
