“Summer of Stories”!
In June and July 2020, Moquette Volante launched a YouTube storytelling series featuring Kristin Ward. Each episode includes a story, as well as a corresponding activity and interview designed to engage listeners in a multidimensional way. In 2021, the series returned for Season 2, better than ever with new stories, fascinating guests, and beautiful papercuts adorning each episode. While the project is currently taking a sort hiatus, plans are already under way for a third season in 2023! Watch the First Two Seasons Here! Enjoy the stories? Join us on Patreon to get access to special bonus videos, and more. The episodes are free to the public, but donations through Patreon, comments and subscribers are gladly accepted and help keep the project growing.
CDs Available
“Chasing Tales” is a new original story by Kristin Ward, based on the old Irish tale “The Man Who Had No Story”. It is also a play on words, as life as an artist can often feel like running in circles. “Chasing Tales” and 4 other stories, old favorites and new, are featured on this CD, along with personal commentary about what the stories mean to the teller.
“Swan? – a Tale of Belonging” takes on the classic tale of the Ugly Duckling with a new twist. Drawing from her own life as an adoptee in a diverse world, Kristin Ward weaves a heartwarming tale of a “strange duck” and her quest for belonging. This CD also contains two bonus tracks of original stories.
The Store is currently under construction! Email kward@moquettevolante.org for details if you are interested in either a CD or a download.
