6-week Storytelling Workshop starting January 10

December 8, 2020December 8, 2020 Christina Thyssen

Is this for you?

Have you ever attended a story slam or listened to the Moth Radio Hour? Do you have a story you’d like to perform or just work on? Do you miss coming to On The Fly Story Slam at HiLo Catskill and want to stay connected to other storytellers until we are able to gather in public places again? Have you always wanted to explore storytelling, but never had the time? We’d love to have you!

Over the course of six weeks, this online workshop will introduce you to the principles of storytelling and teach you how to craft and tell your stories. At the end of the workshop, you will perform your story at On The Fly – a story slam where storytellers bring real-life stories to the stage every month.

Stories and pictures from October Slam

October 22, 2020 Christina Thyssen

We had a blast this past weekend in Tivoli with great stories and cheers by the fire pit – the last hoorah of the season. We will be back in the spring as soon as the weather or some other miracle allows us to get back together again. We hope you’ll be practicing stories to bring to our 2021 On The Fly season. Until then, here are some of the stories from this month’s slam (a few didn’t record properly). The theme was FIRST DATES.

Kim: My Date With Andy Warhol

Dar: Dating a Priest

Tevis: Blind Date

Matt: Secret date

Dina: Opposites attract

Camille: Becoming Camille

Art: First Date

ON THE FLY STORY SLAM

Last Backyard Slam of 2020

October 1, 2020 Christina Thyssen

This will be our final Backyard Edition story slam of 2020. Join us on October 17 at 4pm for stories around the fire pit. Like the last two backyard slams, we will keep participation limited in order to ensure everyone’s health, so if you want to tell a story or just listen in, get in touch. We’ll disclose the location once you do. The theme will be FIRST DATES.

ON THE FLY STORY SLAM

Listen to stories from our September Backyard Slam

September 22, 2020October 25, 2020 Christina Thyssen

It was another beautiful evening on Saturday with amazing stories and a socially spaced audience. We’re storing up the togetherness for the winter to come, but hope we can squeeze in another backyard slam around the fire pit next month. Info to come (but we’re thinking ‘first date’ stories, what could be spookier!). You can listen to a few of the stories from this past weekend below. The theme of the night was Reckoning.
