The project known as 'Revival' is a creative outpouring by folk artist Ru Rose. Revival showcases a deeply sincere full length conceptual debut album of 12 original sacred folk songs recorded Live-Off-The-Forest-Floor in the mountains of the unceded and ancestral territories of the Sinixt and Ktunaxa nations, also known as the Kootenays of British Columbia. Interwoven with the songs of the album is a series of 12 intricate paintings created with hand-made inks, dyes and paints.
With deep gratitude for the support of Creative BC and the Province of British Columbia in making this creation possible

More About the Artist / Album:
Ru Rose sings, catches songs, and plays acoustic guitar, shruti box, and native drum to accompany her voice within the Sinixt tum-ula7xw of British Columbia. She is a devoted mother to a son & daughter, an off-grid mountain homesteader, an intricate esoteric artist, a contemplative writer of existential seasonal musings, and a re-wilding Creatrix inspired by growing regenerative culture. Ru shares her intimate journey of creating, homesteading, and cyclical living as a woman and mother upon a mountain with community on Patreon.
With love for the Creative and the rhythms of the seasons, and life as ceremony, the album ‘Revival’ was recorded outdoors live-off-the-forest-floor to the tuning of 432Hz. With each song of the album recorded, Ru was either pregnant or had her infant daughter sleeping upon her. Her devoted partner Kai Cabodyna helped hold the fruition with sound recording, videography, instrumentation of drum, bass, and banjo, and holding roles of father and partner. Their talented son would add steadiness with a drum and the sweetness of his voice, while musical friends would accompany this muse upon violin, native flute, strings and support vocals.. as well as the birds, insects, squirrels and elementals weaving in their magic of the moment.
The songs that Ru has midwifed into this world are a prayer for this Earth, they hold her grief and her praise and encompass the grounded and initiatory journey of building a house and homestead from the ground up. The songs of Ru Rose are a precious treasure, a somatic experience and call to be shared for the future generations to come. Her haunting, quivering, mountain-folk voice and visionary lyrics call you to remember, and to come home to this sacred Earth.

The Mosquitos - New Absurdist Theatre

"Things are changing rather quickly. We no longer share a reality".
A group of old friends get together for a dinner party, while rumours of an unimaginable change swirl around them.
How do we face total transformation?
An absurd comedy of manners with an existential heart, The Mosquitos is original new theatre written and directed by Slocan Valley playwright Marya Folinsbee. With equal parts humour and pathos, The Mosquitos reconsiders our place in the ecosystem, asking:
How do we live in the world together when we have fundamentally different versions of reality?
A meditation on politics, relationships, (mis)information and the role of art in creating meaning, The Mosquitos is inspired by absurdist classics like Eugene Ionesco's Rhinoceros and Samuel Beckett's Happy Days (and by life in these times).
This world premiere features a talented ensemble of local performers and artists:
Written and Directed by Marya Folinsbee
Featuring Performances by:
Emily Ryan
Kozmo Sammartino
Roger Carter
Patricia McLaughlin
Karmelle Spence-Sing
Lindsay Clague
James Shaw
Aaron Pickett

Sound Designer Jeremy Sauer
Projection Designer Brian Lye
Mask & Puppet Designer Elaine Weryshko
Stage Manager Martina Avis
Technical Director Terry Brennan
Production Designer Marya Folinsbee

Radio Free Kaslo, December 13, 2024

Preserving beautiful land for present and future generations is a huge challenge for many rural communities, desperately seeking ways to stimulate economic activity, and often outflanked by deep-pocketed developers.

On today's show, host Randy Morse has a conversation with three members of Kaslo's South Beach Working Group, on the fate — and future — of South Beach, a 15-acre parcel that cries out to be left in its wildest possible state.

PS: Don't miss the opportunity to let Kaslo's Municipal Council know where you stand on the future of South Beach. Attend Council's upcoming public meeting on the subject, Tuesday, December 17, 6 PM Pacific. If you can't be there in person, join in via Zoom — find the link on the Village of Kaslo's website.
