Shetland Story Slam will be focusing open-mic, true, personal storytelling. Shetland has a rich storytelling tradition, which lends itself perfectly to this kind of event - gathering together to share and listen to stories in-person connects our community and celebrates the diversity and commonality of our experiences.
Come along as an audience member or put your name forward to tell a story. The theme for the night is ‘place’. It could be a story about the time you felt out of place, or the time you were in the right place at the right time. Maybe it’s about when you finally put your nemesis in their place, or you got up the nerve to ask, “your place or mine?” Or, your story could be about some other place entirely…
The story should be:
- Personal – you are the main character
- True
- Connected to the theme of ‘place’
- 5 minutes max
- Told without notes
