In Collaboration with Clay and Paper Theatre

Hey Pollywog, want the inside scoop? Our newest blog by Summer Company member, Erin Eldershaw, features and profiles our work on Caretakers.

Graphic designed by Jessica Cen, using stock image.

Led by Frog in Hand's own Andrew Gaboury and Alice Cavanagh, ten clowns from the 2021 Summer Company will be let loose along the Waterfront Trail in Port Credit. Their red noses will provide a surprising, heart-warming addition to the beautiful views of Port Credit’s own Tall Oaks, St. Lawrence, and JJ Plaus Parks. Through the late afternoon (5pm-7pm) the clowns will chat with passersby, collecting joy. In the evening (8pm-10pm) they will celebrate with a parade of glowing puppets. Join us on Fridays in July from dusk to dark!

Land Acknowledgement

We are privileged to work, live and play on the traditional territories of the Anishinabek, Haudenosaunee, and Wendat peoples - Treaty 13A territory. This territory is included in the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which is an agreement to peaceably share and care for the land and its resources. The standard of living we enjoy in Canada is a result of thousands of years of stewardship by the original inhabitants and the inequitable taking of the land from them. We acknowledge that in order to have reconciliation, we must first understand truth; we commit to move forward in an effort to achieve both. Our CoFounders, Colleen and Noelle, are settlers from Welsh, Ukrainian and English roots, and their heritage is but one piece of the tapestry that is Frog in Hand. Frog in Hand is a collective of artists with diverse backgrounds and histories, heritages and family stories of their own. 

 

We are all Treaty People. On September 30th each year we mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Every day we are mindful of broken covenants and we strive to make this right. We commit to collaboration based on the foundational assumption that Indigenous Peoples have the power, strength, and competency to develop culturally specific strategies for their communities. We are dedicated to honouring Indigenous self-determination, history, and culture, and are committed to moving forward in the spirit of reconciliation and respect with all First Nation, Metis and Inuit people.
