Everyone has a story in them. But telling it in front of a room full of strangers, that can sometimes feel intimidating.
That's why I want to invite you to this friendly storytelling circle.

What is a storytelling circle?
This is an opportunity to share a story of something that happened to you and get immediate feedback from supportive, like-minded people.
The only rules about the storytelling circle are:
-the story has to be yours to tell;
-it should come from the scar rather than the open wound. This means if it still brings up bad feelings, maybe it's not ready to be told.
-it should not be defamatory, incite racial hatred or support any kind of hate speech.
You don't have to bring a story. Maybe you'd just like to come along and see what it's all about. You are very welcome to do that. In fact, the more the merrier.
The event is hosted at the Women's Library of Cid Fraen an Gender.
Tea and coffee will be available.
What is storytelling?
Storytelling is the social and cultural activity of sharing stories, sometimes with improvisation, theatrics, or embellishment. Every culture has its own stories or narratives, which are shared as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation or instilling moral values. If you're new to storytelling, I recommend checking out Mike Birbiglia and The Moth Hour on Youtube.
Who runs this story circle?
My name is Jess Bauldry. I've been a journalist for the past 20 years, a standup comedy for 6 years and a storyteller for most of my life.
I recently completed an MA in creative writing from the University of Hull. A UK/Luxembourg national, I co-founded feminist comedy festival Festrogen and I am part of the Luxembourg comedy collective Frilly Curtains Comedy. Both host storytelling events.
This workshop is organised with the generous support of Cid Fraen an Gender.
