of self expression and discovery. Collaboration with artists from different disciplines has
helped them find a sense of connection and play from the art of storytelling. They have
performed across Canada and at the Voices of Today Youth Poetry Festival in Toronto. On
their artistic journey they’ve ventured into longer forms of storytelling; where they have
