Shetland Story Slam | Open-mic, true, personal storytellingJoin us for the second Shetland Story Slam, a night of live, personal storytelling. Come along as an audience member, or put your name forward to tell a story.
Shetland Story Slam is inspired by the award-winning Moth storytelling events, first held in New York City 25 years ago.
What the audience said about the first Shetland Story Slam event:
"A really lovely event, with wonderfully varied stories and a supportive and appreciative audience. Felt like a very special evening."
"I thought the Story Slam was fantastic. The fact that the storytellers were prepared and rehearsed gave the whole event a sense of structure, which made it even more engaging without seeming 'staged'. I loved the variety of stories and how thought-provoking they were. I felt like I got a lot out of simply being a spectator."
"Still reeling after a truly wonderful night, a very special event and so glad I was one of the lucky ones that was there!"
"Heart-warming and inspiring!"
Do you have a story about 'family'? We're looking for people to tell a five minute, true life story on the theme of family, whatever family means to you. Stories can be hilarious or poignant, recent or something that happened many years ago. What are the secrets, lies, recipes, heirlooms, legacies, curses or traditions that helped shape you?
The story should be:
► Personal - you are the main character
► True
► Connected to the theme of 'family'
► 5 minutes max
► Told without notes
► Respectful and inclusive
If you'd like to chat to Ruth and Liz about your idea, or if you have any questions get in touch: [email protected].
Ages 16+.
