WHAT TO BRING

  • Comfortable clothing (layers encouraged during colder months)
  • Water
  • Notebook and pen/pencil
  • Optional indoor shoes for dance floor
  • Your potluck snack (if not registering with PWYC) Finger foods/snacks are great but we have limited cutlery and no way to heat things up (so carrot sticks or cookies are great, soup would be a challenge!)
  • We are battery powered in the dome, so this is an unplugged jam session - we will not have amps or mics.

    HOW TO REGISTER?
    Register here, on Eventbrite. Just decide if you are paying by donation (PWYC, all funds to go towards The Art Shelter), or if you will be paying by providing a snack for the group.

About the Art Shelter
The Art Shelter is the home of Frog in Hand and a space for artists from the Community! It is a space to cultivate and grow creative ideas: an off-grid, repurposed greenhouse. At the Art Shelter, we hope we can do more with less in ways that are socially inclusive, environmentally proactive, and better aligned with an unpredictable future.

Mandy MacLean, Art Shelter Coordinator says, "We welcome bodies and minds of every kind. You are invited to walk, roll, and participate in the manner that makes you feel at your best and most whole. Please reach out in preparation for your attendance if you require any specific accommodations, or have concerns, or questions. An Access Guide of the space is available upon request, and we invite you to connect if you require a consultation of the space in advance of your visit."

Organized by

Frog in Hand began with a cast of frogs performing circus tricks under the artistic direction of two sisters, Noelle Hamlyn and Colleen Snell, who were one and five years old at the time. From this whimsical debut springs our firm belief that art begins in humble places – including the mud and grass of the backyard. Building on this modest foundation we have formed a diverse collective of dancers, fight choreographers, musicians, actors, spoken word poets, costume designers and visual artists who come together to create cross-disciplinary performances in unusual spaces. Our collective has national and international professional experience, having trained and performed in Canada (Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Montréal), the United States (Chicago, Miami, New York), Japan, China, Korea, India, Ireland, Israel, Australia and England. Frog in Hand has received commissions from the Canada Council for the Arts (2016), the Ontario Arts Council (2014/15/16/17), the Guelph Dance Festival, Hillside Inside Festival, Art Gallery of Ontario, Kitchener Waterloo’s Night/Shift, the Art Gallery of Mississauga, Ontario’s Culture Days, the Mississauga Waterfront Festival, Springboard Danse Montreal (2015) and the Banff Centre for the Arts. Frog in Hand has created and produced many dance works – mostly site specific projects incorporating theatrical and visual elements. We've worked in parks, gazebos, a public water fountain, staircases, an abandoned gun factory, an elevator, art galleries, street corners and various theatres. Frog in Hand incorporated as a not-for profit in 2016.
