Stumble Upon A Story
Lived Experience Storytelling
The world is made of stories.
We just help you trip over them.
From the foggy Atlantic coast to the wind-swept prairies…
We’re spinning a web of creativity across this massive,
beautiful country.
Stumble Upon a Story creates immersive, literary-based, multidisciplinary art experiences that connect people and communities across Canada through storytelling, creativity, and shared artistic practice.
We are dedicated to transforming literature into performance and participatory arts experiences that foster community connection.
Each project and event is artist-driven and adapted to the skills and voice of the people involved.
