And Native American Music and Dance
HUSH Season 1 Finale
Andy's parents - gone. Her grandma: missing. And now Gracie - kidnapped. Universes are being destroyed, tensions fissure the friends, and even more is at stake as a new world, one based on Ojibwe culture, is threatened.
Join us for the live recording of the Season 1 finale of #HUSHpodcast, help us launch two new podcasts with HUSH Jr and Shush! and enjoy Native American Music and Dance. Written, produced and performed by secondary students using live sound effects and original music, HUSH also represents a unique collaboration with the Native American Parent Advisory Committee. Students worked with Ojibwe experts to create a world culturally sensitive and appropriate to their storyline.
First, Andy's parents mysteriously disappear. A few months later, her grandmother vanishes. #HUSHpodcast, affectionately known as "HUSH," follows a teenaged girl named Andy who sets off with her friends in a quest to find her family that leads into multiple worlds filled with manipulative people and dangerous secrets.
#HUSHpodcast and its spinoffs, HUSH Jr and Shush! are part of an original sci-fi podcast series written, composed and performed by secondary students in the St. Croix River Valley through a youth storytelling center called The Shire. The Shire's audio drama teams write the scripts, compose and play the music, create the sound effects and perform the roles. Each episode is aired as a radio play on Voices in the Valley (10 AM Saturday mornings on KLBB 1220) before being uploaded onto the podcast directories.
Binge it - You can do it - Catch up fast and enjoy!
