Have you made a change in your life, community or world? If so, we want to hear from you!
Our creative projects feature community members from all walks of life and around the globe sharing their personal experiences of change, both live and recorded. We believe in the power of sharing stories as a way to witness each other and be creative together.
We encourage people of all backgrounds, races, genders, cultures, ages, religions, disabilities, and sexual orientations to reach out. No experience necessary – we’ll work with selected contributors to ensure you are comfortable and confident.

REMIXED
Remixed is a deep listening experience that invites collective contemplation on how we make change in our lives, communities, and world. During the performance, each audience member receives a playlist of stories, narration and music, personalized for them by our custom app. The stories feature community members from all over the globe describing their experiences of making change. We believe that by sharing stories of change, individual experiences become cumulative and spark transformation across our communities and world. Remixed is created in collaboration with community members and change-makers across Canada and beyond.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR STORIES OF CHANGE
Do you have a story of change you’d like to share? If so, we’d love to hear from you! We encourage people of all backgrounds, races, genders, cultures, ages, religions, disabilities, and sexual orientations to reach out. No experience necessary. We’ll work with selected contributors to ensure you are comfortable and confident. Our story archive is curated to reflect all facets of change: big to small, personal to systemic, funny to heartbreaking. The stories touch on a wide range of topics including identity, culture, love, belonging, work, health, survival, loss, dreams, and the transformative power of a good haircut. Our storytellers include community activists, doctors, outreach workers, parents, children, death doulas, artists, CEOs, tarot card readers, apiarists, urban planners, military officers, small business owners, an anesthesiologist, and several opera singers. Our archive evolves as new stories are added. We consider the stories in relationship with each other, and so new ones are selected in consideration of the rest of the archive. Our goal is to reflect the beautiful complexities of change as much as possible.
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR STORY
Fill in the form below, and we’ll be in touch to set up a brief call to learn more about you and your story, and answer any questions you may have about Remixed.
Selected stories will be edited to 4 minutes in length and used anonymously (though your voice will be narrating). We offer an honorarium of $100 to those whose story is selected, as well as a copy of the final track.
