The story of our name
Two sisters, one backyard, and many frogs.
So our story begins...

​
Our story begins with the story of our name...
Frog in Hand began with a cast of frogs performing tricks under the artistic direction of two sisters, Noelle Hamlyn and Colleen Snell, who were 4 and 7 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 our own backyard. Although we are now a diverse collective of dancers, choreographers, musicians, actors, spoken word poets, designers and visual artists, we are still inspired by where we find ourselves.​ We are now a Mississauga-based charity that creates, performs, and teaches dance as a powerful act of creative placemaking, fostering cross-cultural connection.
