ABOUT YOUR TEACHER – Colleen Snell
Colleen is obsessed with storytelling; it shows in her multidisciplinary practice. She’s an educator, dramaturge, world builder, placemaker, fight director, and sound designer – but she’s most passionate about movement and dance as a vehicle for human expression. Colleen is the Artistic Director of Frog in Hand, a dance company she cofounded. For over 10 years she has devised and performed with Frog in Hand, generating cultural capital in her hometown of Mississauga and advocating for contemporary dance in a suburban setting. Colleen’s choreography incorporates large, ensemble casts and themes inspired by science fiction. Her site-specific work has appeared in a brew pub, rowing club, arena, factory, sawmill, gym, and splash pad – as well as more “traditional” educational institutions and stages across Canada (like Springboard Danse, the Guelph Dance Festival, York and Metropolitan University).
Colleen completed her MA with Distinction at the London Contemporary Dance School in England, and her rare passion for grant writing has garnered support for Frog in Hand from the OAC, Canada Council, Mississauga Community Foundation, Trillium Foundation, Canada Summer Jobs, Federal Cultural Spaces and Mississauga Arts Council, among others. As a dancer, she most recently worked with TranscenDance Project on their 2024 immersive “Eve of Saint George” production, telling the story of Dracula across three entire floors of The Great Hall in Toronto.

I, JOAN

Charlie Josephine’s complete reimagining of the story of Joan of Arc upset some critics when it opened in London in 2022, but was celebrated by others, and by audiences, for its extraordinary, exuberant energy. This Joan is a non-binary person, fighting for their freedom as well as for France’s liberty from English rule, fueled by their utter belief in their mission (and its divine support), curbed by a small-minded establishment, but ultimately triumphant. A gloriously counterfactual, rivetingly theatrical rethinking of history by one of the most exciting voices in contemporary drama.
