Gentrified: Where have all the porches gone? is a multidisciplinary performance that centers the porch as a vital gathering place in Black communities, where neighbors connected, stories were shared, and everyday life unfolded in full view. Through dance, spoken word, and storytelling, the work brings forward voices from seven historic Black Houston neighborhoods including Fourth Ward, Fifth Ward, Third Ward, Independence Heights, Sunnyside, Acres Homes, and South Park. Choreographer and cultural leader Harrison Guy, founder and artistic director of Urban Souls Dance Company, created the work to reflect on community, connection, and the impact of gentrification.
