I have Ukrainian roots on my mom\u2019s side and have been involved with Ukrainian folk dance most of my life, but I\u2019m afraid I\u2019ve otherwise been rather distant from the culture. This is a storytelling show featuring three favourite tales of Ukrainian children\u2019s folklore. What I love about shows like these are the ways that I can recognize elements and themes of stories and folklore common across cultures, which hold lessons and messages not only for the children they are intended, but serve a purpose to preserve our histories and wisdom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodyindent\">Considering the current conflict overseas as well, it was beautiful to see Ukraine celebrated and its culture shared in this festival. As for me, it was wonderful to learn children\u2019s stories that I didn\u2019t know and reconnect to the music I love. Music, stories and parables are important to all of us, and sharing them is how we keep our heritage alive and connect with one another. A very sweet show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"author\">Calantha Jensen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Blabbermouth, the Puff Monster, and the Wolf Merlyn Productions\u2014Tom Hendry Warehouse I had sincerely no idea what to expect walking into this show; I chose it more or less at random, but as I sat in a theatre filled with lively Ukrainian folk music, I couldn\u2019t help but feel like this was a special [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1046],"tags":[1071],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jennyrevue.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3667"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jennyrevue.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jennyrevue.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jennyrevue.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jennyrevue.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3667"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.jennyrevue.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3667\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3671,"href":"https:\/\/www.jennyrevue.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3667\/revisions\/3671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jennyrevue.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jennyrevue.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jennyrevue.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
