Storytelling events put a single voice and a good story at the center. In a curated show, a handful of storytellers each tell a true personal story around a theme. In a story slam, people sign up to tell a short story and the audience or judges pick a favorite. Spoken-word and poetry nights blend performance and writing, and traditional storytelling sessions share folk tales, myths and family stories.
These events are intimate by nature, so small rooms and online sessions both work well. Online, storytellers can be anywhere, which lets audiences hear voices from very different places. Some events are for adults; others are designed for families and children.
Choose by theme, format and audience. If you want to tell a story yourself, look for slams or open nights and check how sign-ups work.
Choosing a storytelling event
- Check the format: curated show, story slam, spoken word or traditional tales.
- Look at the theme of the night; many events build their lineup around one.
- Read any audience guidance, since some nights are for adults and others for families.
- If you want to perform, ask the organizer how storyteller sign-ups work.
- For online events, use headphones; the voice is the whole show.
