The Deadly Uncle Podcast was created as a safe space to connect Indigenous men and boys to their culture and communities. Join Curt Young and Trent Agecoutay as they talk to "Deadly Uncles" in the Indigenous Community.
Each podcast promotes belonging and social inclusion to support the physical and mental wellbeing of Indigenous men and boys. With the support of the Edmonton Arts Council, we have successfully interviewed 20 “Deadly Uncles” and in episode 15 Curt and Trent sit down with Actor Marshall Vielle.
Marshall is an Actor, Director, Podcaster, and Drag Performer from the Kainai Nation in Southern Alberta. They are a recent graduate from the University of Lethbridge where they received their Bachelors of Fine Arts, specializing in Theatre Performance. They are especially interested in using theatre for community development, having been involved in various projects both locally and internationally aimed at using artistic practices to encourage social change. They work as an advocate for diversity in the performance sector, while also lending their creativity to several Queer Youth initiatives. Marshall is the recipient of the 2018 Theatre Calgary Stephen Hair Emerging Actor Award. When they are not acting, Marshall can be seen teaching as an Artist-in-Residence at Trickster Theatre or Improvising with Dirty Laundry.
