The process involves Branch Nebula (co-creators) and 7 artists (2 skaters, 1 BMX, 1 parkour-ist, 2 dancers and 1 live musician) taking up residence inВ the skate park for a week.

Snake SessionsВ allows for participation and potential professionalВ employment for local artists in each new location. The work is spontaneous, capturing the spirit of what street-styles are all about, anarchic, inter-generational, fun, inspiringВ and created in the moment. The specificВ training of the street-style artists enables them to perform with acute responsiveness to the site, the local skate park users and theВ musician. With Snake SessionsВ Branch Nebula builds a performance that responds to who is in the space, the elements and challenges of each skate park В enjoying the rapport that can develop through shared physical activity and each individualвЂ™s highly specialized skill.

The process has developed out of our ten years of practice in creating performance with street style artforms and artists, through works such as Paradise CityВ (Sydney Opera House, Australian & Brazilian touring), Concrete & Bone SessionsВ (Sydney Festival & Santiago a Mil), and s.l.o.a.p.В (Urb Festival Helsinki, Freespace West Kowloon, Hong Kong).Д«ut in Snake Sessions, we wanted to design a process to enable collaboration with local users to create and present a work in a short timeframe, without locking down the skatepark for our exclusive use.Д«ranch Nebula has trained up its skaters, BMX-rider, dancers and Parkourist in the art of free improvisation.

ItвЂ™s an organic process based on creating a show through improvisation, and workshops with local skate park users. Snake SessionsВ is a new site specific performance developed in collaboration with locals, over a weeklong residency in a skate park.
