Storyweaving is a distinct methodology that governs the dramaturgical structure and performed transmission of the company's plays on the contemporary stage. The practice of Storyweaving predates written history. It has been (and remains) specific to tribal storytellers across the continent. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reclamation, then, of this aesthetic legacy by contemporary Indigenous storytellers is a crucial act of recovery. Jill Carter, an Anishinaabe-Ashkenazi theatre-worker and scholar, examines the process and development of Storyweaving. She studies how Storyweaving imagines and architects a functional framework that is being adopted and adapted by artists from myriad nations to create works (on the page and stage) that facilitate the healing, transformation, and survivance of their communities. \u003cem\u003eBetween the Layers\u003c\/em\u003e pays respects to the teachers and visionaries that moulded this practice and encourages future generations to continue its legacy, while making a much-needed contribution to the study of Indigenous theatre and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its painstaking documentation of the Storyweaving artform, \u003cem\u003eBetween the Layers\u003c\/em\u003e refuses the devaluation, erasure, and suppression of Indigenous culture, while contributing to the dissemination and celebration of Indigenous Knowledge Systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jill Carter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487559062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487559069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Jill Carter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47201094369535,"sku":"9781487559069","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49644e7e-71db-44f1-8d45-46ca45642ce0.jpg?v=1756788857","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/between-the-layers-jill-carter-9781487559069","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
