The New Stories Project is a PWM storytellers unit which offers accessible creation workshops, as well as customized development labs and additional support, to emerging and established neurodivergent theatre-artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launched in 2018 by founder Jesse Stong with the help of Les Muses (Centre for artists with intellectual disabilities)<\/a>, the Mackay Centre School (for children and youth with disabilities)<\/a>, et le West Island Association for Intellectual Handicapped (WIAIH)<\/a>, the project has already successfully provided 25+ neurodivergent creators and performers with professional expertise in building new pieces of theatre.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A more inclusive and accessible support system for neurodivergent artists has seen new work grow from the page to the stage, fostering intergenerational exchange while creating a platform for marginalized communities to be heard and seen by wider Canadian audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This season, participants from the New Stories Project<\/em> have been invited to tour with PWM across the province, presenting excerpts from their works in development. <\/strong>These pop-up performances and talk-backs will be a chance for our artists to share their unique creations in intimate settings, and will all take place in selected community centers and schools that serve neurodivergent populations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
