Remixed by Trophy

A technology-enabled deep listening experience that explores how we instigate change.

Change is inevitable. But how we move through it, and how we move others, is something we can learn, share, and act on together. Remixed is a deep listening experience about our collective capacity to instigate change.

Remixed began as a question that emerged from Trophy, an award-winning, internationally touring performance installation launched in 2016. Bringing communities together to share stories of formative experience, Trophy revealed something unexpected: people could speak vividly about change, the shifts in their lives and how they responded, but struggled to locate it. They could describe moments before and after, but the change incident itself, what triggered it and how it happened, remained elusive.

That gap became our jumping-off point for an investigation. Could stories and interviews help to pinpoint the locus of change? Could the conditions that make transformation possible be identified, challenged, and engineered through a creative experience, one designed not just to prompt reflection, but to provoke action? Developed over five years, Remixed is the result, part artistic event and part research platform, built to surround each participant with the conditions they might need to move through or make a change themselves.

Remixed had its first showing in 2019 and has since toured across Canada and internationally as both a remote and in-person experience, developed in collaboration with a growing network of collaborators, community partners, and storytellers.
