School holiday fun at Snake Sessions

16 April 2018

April Cutting-edge street artists, Branch Nebula, to visit Wagga during April’s Fresh.

Timed perfectly for National Youth Week and the school holidays, Snake Sessions by Branch Nebula is a fun and spontaneous fusion of BMX stunts, parkour, contemporary dance and skateboard stunts set to a drummer’s beat.

This breath-taking mixture of performance, dance and urban street style art-forms hits Wagga from 16 to 21 April and locals are invited to join in creating a spectacular show during their week-long residency.

City of Wagga Wagga’s Cultural Officer Tracie Miller says, “Snake Sessions have toured their cutting-edge entertainment internationally and this week Wagga is in for a treat when they bring their unique blend of urban culture to the city.”

“These free sessions with talented street-style artists are open to everyone to get involved. Bring your skateboard or BMX and learn and perform alongside professional street-style artists.

“I expect the Wagga community will be inspired to get active and creative on their own skateboards and scooters after seeing the performance by Snake Session artists,” she says.
