WHAT'S A STORY SLAM?
A story slam is a live storytelling friendly competition similar to poetry slams. Storytellers have 5 minutes each to tell a TRUE personal story based on a PROMPT chosen for the event without the use of notes.

HOW IT WORKS
Every story slam event has a HOST and a PROMPT.
Audience members can prepare a story and enter their name in a hat or decide to sit back and listen.
Ten people's names are picked from the hat by an audience member. (If you don't get picked, be sure to come back the next month!!)
Judges are picked from the audience and given guidelines to follow. The audience also gets to pick their favorite who will go on to the finals.
At the end of the evening the winner of the slam is announced based on who has the highest score. They will also receive a prize valued at $50.00.

STORY SLAM RULES

• Five minute stories are perfect. No longer.

• No notes. You won’t need them. It’s your story. Speak from your heart and Invest in what you say.

• Know your beginning, middle and end. This will keep you on track. Content is important.

• Be sure to connect the story to the prompt and use inflection. Be aware of rhythm.

• Please no ranting, no preaching, no politicizing.

• Most of all remember to breathe,enjoy the opportunity to be heard. Most of all have fun!!

Ticket Admission: $10.00

OUR WHY

We believe in the healing power of story. We believe there's nothing more powerful than being in the present moment with one another, our minds and hearts open, actively listening and sharing the stories we carry. This is why we will offer monthly workshops and story slams to encourage and help people to shape their stories and pass them on.
