Carly Stasko is a self-titled Imagitator (who agitates imagination) from Toronto, Canada. She is a creator, educator, healer, and loving parent who left the city a year and a half ago to live in the woods with her husband and young sons during the pandemic. She’s been written about and featured in documentaries for her culture jamming art and activism, worked as a freelance television and radio producer at the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, and spent the last decade as a mentor at the University of Toronto’s Integrated Learning and Community Engagement Program where she founded the Dream Job Academy and more recently trained and supported a team of student podcasters called the Storyweavers. Since the pandemic she has been supporting her kids in virtual learning, dancing outside everyday and connecting with nature, and facilitating online workshops focusing on movement, writing, creativity, and mental health. Most recently Carly began studying theatre and media production at the Centre for Indigenous Theatre and compiling creative content for a documentary about healing and hope in times of great challenge.
