Activities on Our Waterfront

Living in the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood means that you are only ever a few short minutes walk away from Toronto's beautiful lakefront and all the parks, shopping and activities in the areas north of it. We're pleased to share with you some of the activities animating our waterfront, courtesy of the following Waterfront Toronto newsletter.

Voguing for Vitality
Where: Underpass Park

Voguing for Vitality is a series of free public workshops that harness the power of Voguing to help participants find their own meaningful and purposeful existence. Workshops will draw on this freestyle form that uniquely fuses modelling, theatre, and dance. Lead artist Robert Halley will be joined by guest artists to guide participants to explore musical rhythm, aerobic warm up, fun character acting role-play, modelling, poise, eye-contact, strutting the catwalk (with a rack of clothing and props to choose from) and geometric arm coordination patterns (think human Tetris).
