Black and Rural Tickets

Black and Rural is a compelling one-woman storytelling performance created and performed by Shayna Jones. This nationally funded artistic inquiry delves into Black rural voices, blending spoken word, movement, verbatim theatre, and voice-over elements to illuminate experiences often left unheard. The project operates under the umbrella of the We Are STORYFOLK portfolio, and materials are maintained by Pi Theatre and partner companies, ensuring broad reach and accessibility across Canada.

Tour footprints have included stops in Vancouver (Pacific Theatre), Victoria, Toronto, and Kitchener (MT Space), with ongoing collaborations and galleries at blackandrural.com and related content via We Are STORYFOLK. The show invites audiences to engage with intimate storytelling, cultural memory, and the resilience of rural Black communities through a dynamic, multimedia performance.

Upcoming and recent activity includes the Embodied Knowledge Retreat II scheduled for September 27, 2025, at Adinkra Farm in New Lowell, Ontario. This retreat continues the project’s exploration of knowledge, voice, and community through immersive experiences.
