ONE MORE STORY is a specially curated collection of shalan's oral stories that weave together old teachings and new thoughts. Through narrative performance and song, she shares of the land, our history, and our future. She acknowledges the L’nu’k of long ago who helped shape this landscape, these ecosystems, learned about this world and passed on teachings from one generation to the next. She is deeply grateful to bring new teachings, new stories, new songs and share this landscape with so many people.
shalan joudry (in her own words): Kwe'. I'm an L'nu (MI'kmaw) mother to two teenagers, spouse to a basket-maker, as well as being a multi-disciplinary storyteller and ecologist. I have shared my stories as a poet, playwright, podcaster, oral storyteller, actor, singer, and cultural interpreter.
As a present day storyteller, i am so thankful for the hard work of many Indigenous storytellers, teachers, artists of all kinds who made trails for me to follow and benefit from. My ability to share my work, my thoughts, my art is thanks to many teachers over my lifetime. I’m grateful and humbled. Wela’lioq. I hope that my voice will add to the forest of voices, helping to uplift or guide others as well.
FOLKSONG FIESTA is co-presented by Vocalypse Productions and the Halifax Public Libraries
Generously funded by the Canada Council for the Arts
