sharing stories off the page
We’re slamming this Friday at @officialopus40 . If you’ve ever found yourself derailed from the path you thought you were traveling, you have a detour story. Come throw your name in the hat for a chance to tell your five-minute true-life story. And while you’re there, wander the grounds at magical Opus40 and take in the views and the stonework. A place of beauty! 6pm sign-up, 6.30 stories. $5.
Join us for the first summer slam at @officialopus40 on July 12. Stories of HIDDEN BEAUTY. Put your name in the hat to tell a story or sit back and enjoy listening in. Always a good time! Sign-up 6pm, stories 6.30pm. Rain or shine!
Once again, we will be slamming at gorgeous OPUS 40 in Saugerties this summer. Come tell a story and enjoy the breathtaking views and incredible stone sculptures and landscape while you’re there.
In this storytelling workshop, you’ll learn how to shape stories from your life and share them with others in a small group setting. We’ll introduce you to the principles of storytelling and incorporate performance techniques, sensory exploration and memory work to bring your stories to the stage. At the end you will be invited to perform your story at our monthly On The Fly Story Slam.
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? Have you always wanted to explore storytelling, but never had the time? We’d love to have you!
Listen to Caitlin & Christina talk about the workshop on WKZE on July 16
Next month we celebrate the beginning of summer with HOT MESS – stories of meltdowns, hot summer nights, things out of whack. Or whatever hot mess means to you. This will be our last slam at Avalon for the summer. We will be back in September, but hope to see you at OPUS 40 where we will be slamming throughout the summer:
