The tour promises to be an experience like no other! More about The Ukranian Shumka Dancers of Canada ⁠https://www.shumka.com/⁠ Les Sereda began his dance career at the age of 12 and joined Shumka four years later. He toured Canada and the United States in Shumka's productions of Absolutely Shumka and Cinderella and was honoured to be one of the performers in Sulyma Productions' The Nutcracker, A Ballet Fantasy for three consecutive years.  During Shumka's 50th Anniversary celebrations, he received a Membership with Distinction award from Shumka for his ongoing dedication to the company. In 1993 Les trained at the Ukrainian Academy of Dance in Lviv, Ukraine, focusing on both ballet and character training along with regional choreography and music.  This immersive experience was a guiding force, influencing his future artistic journey and ongoing commitment to the art form. Over the years, Les developed a truly collaborative spirit, forging relationships with international artists to create original choreography, music, projections and costumes that have influenced the evolving world vision of Ukrainian dance. Serving as the Artistic Director of Viter Ukrainian Dancers from 2004 to 2010, his direction forged new ground for the company guiding the creation of the song and dance style that is a hallmark of the ensemble today. In 2018, Les directed Shumka's newest work, Mosquito's Wedding: All You Need is Love. An enchanting Disney-esque production with a relevant universal message for today, it successfully speaks to audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Les is also owner, director and producer of Blue Toque Productions, an Edmonton based media company specializing in telling stories through documentary-style films. In 2019, Les completed a behind-the-scenes documentary on the journey to Shumka's Ancestors & Elders. Through his years of experience as a dancer, choreographer, director, visual designer and film maker, Les has developed a holistic sense of art and its creation. With a deep respect for Shumka's 60-year history, he is ready to take the company into the future…changing its leaves while keeping intact its roots.

The Nutcracker holds a special place in many dance hearts. It can be the first professional show for aspiring ballet students to appear on the big stage — usually as mice. And it's also often the most available ballet production for families during the holidays. This year, Fawnda was joined by Soni Dasmohapatra and seven-year-old Niya for their first experience with Shumka's Nutcracker. It was pretty magical, especially after 700+ days since the company had performed for public audiences. Stay tuned to the end for a special preview of the next podcast project Fawnda and Soni are working on in 2022: Kathak, Hopak, Hip-hop.We're proud to be part of the Alberta Podcast Network.

Kate and Scott with Jordan, are the masterminds behind Shumka Dust. What started at home blending their own spices turned into Shumka Dust and what a journey it has been. A true Family business. Spice/Rub with a Kick! Today Kate and Scott told us how this all first happened, what is on the bucket list and what me might see down the line. Big steps have been taken and a passion to create something unique turned into Shumka Dust. The current line up is available in town at over 35 retailers. Can't wait to see what stories Kate and Scott will tell after they visited Munich at the time of Oktoberfest. Once travelling is safe again. Will they ever leave the beer tent? I know I had a hard time.

This week marks the 12th anniversary of Stop Podcasting Yourself. What began as a venue for two Vancouver-based comedians has since become one of the longest running and most beloved comedy shows in the medium. For more than six-hundred weekly episodes, the show has been a remarkable consistent — and hilarious showcase for cohosts Dave Shumka and Graham Clark, along with a rotating cast of established comedians. Shumka’s podcasting bonafides extend beyond SPY, including the one-off musical series, Our Debut Album (cohosted with Clark) and his work on the well-received This Sounds Serious, a takeoff on popular true shows like Serial and Making a Murderer that is currently on its second season. On a recent trip to New York, Shumka joined us to discuss his podcasting career.

Brent sits down with DAVE SHUMKA - one half of the creative team behind Canada's award winning podcast, "Stop Podcasting Yourself", to discuss the origins or rock, the words that make up words, titmouses (titmice???) and the super sexy 1920s.

It’s a YEG miracle: Paul has never seen a Ukrainian dance show. So, we take him to Shumka’s latest production, KOBZAR. Incidentally, Fawnda also sees an intriguing collaboration with Good Women Dance Collective and ProCoro: Love/Fail.

Graham Clark and Dave Shumka are together again for the first time on What's So Funny? The co-hosts of Stop Podcasting Yourself drop by to speak directly to their bumpers and try to break the record of phone-ins on WSF? Along the way, we talk beard paintings, Los Angeles, and Charlie Sheen.

Dave Shumka drops by to talk about his eight-hour podcasting extravaganza in the city of Angels, why he feels the need to over-explain Canadianisms, and why you won't find any clips of him performing on the internet. Absolutely Shumka indeed.

Graham Clark stops podcasting himself long enough to pay us a visit and we talk about... Stop Podcasting Yourself. We also dip into his iPod to see what he's listening to and I try to drive him and Dave Shumka apart, to no avail.

Dave's brother joins us and we have nothing to talk about. Fortunately he brought notes.
