This year's winter performance festival was our hottest yet. Eight artists from Hamilton and the surrounding region took over St. Paul's Presbyterian Church on James St. S. and New Vision United on Main St. to create bite-sized site-specific performances at the 2019 Frost Bites.

For the first time the Frost Bites hub hosted a national artistic collaboration supported by Heritage Canada and Bureau du Quebec à Toronto. Each evening, Montreal’s Thanya Iyer teamed up with local choreographer Lisa Emmons and dancer Mayumi Lashbrook to meld ethereal music with an inspired performance.

The festival gave us the chance to create a platform for an important community organization at New Vision United. A big thanks to the dancers from the NGen Youth Centre for their special appearances.

Stay tuned. Applications for the 2020 festival will go online soon!

Rose Hopkins at her "Fringiest"

Rose Hopkins is leaving her position as Associate Producer of the Hamilton Fringe effective this month. Rose started out as a Fringe artist in 2015, shortly after graduating from theatre school. She joined the ALERT program soon after and moved on to coordinate the program the following year. She participated as an artist in the inaugural Frost Bites and joined the Fringe as Associate Producer the following year.

Rose has made a huge contribution to the organization and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her over the past few years. We're happy to celebrate her exciting next steps as she takes on an international position teaching drama in China. We're wishing her all the best on her newest venture and looking forward to the next time our paths cross!
