Checkmate

Inspired by chess, checkmate blends stage combat with contemporary dance, bringing these archetypal characters to life. With two possible endings, you never know who might will win!
 

Checkmate premiered at the Mississauga Waterfront Festival (2013), and has appeared at Guelph Dance Festival's Nooner Series, and at the Living Arts Centre's RBC Theatre for Canada Day in 2018.

Land Acknowledgement

Before we learn to write, we learn to speak. Before we learn to speak, we learn to listen. We listen to our families as they tell us stories. Colleen & Noelle, Frog in Hand Co-Founders, have a Canadian story, born to parents and grandparents from the West and the North of this land we now refer to as Canada. Colleen & Noelle have learned they are newcomers, settlers on this land. It is important that as settlers they listen and learn the stories of the land on which they live, work and create. We acknowledge the heritage of our two founders, but it is 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.
