A live storytelling event for women in Bayside, Melbourne.
A place to share true stories of lived experiences, to speak and be witnessed, to listen and be entertained, and feel a deeper connection to our lives and each other.
This is an open invitation to share a true story
about something that happened to you,
spoken without notes,
within a time-limit of up to 10 minutes.
There's a theme to inspire, and all types of stories are welcome. Light and breezy, funny and uplifting, sad or unexpected, heavy and dark.
There's space for them all.
Very often in today’s world there isn’t acknowledgment for the things we’ve achieved or the road we’ve travelled. Sharing your story is a gift to the listeners, but also a gift to yourself. When we share our stories we validate our lives and who we are.
Where we’ve travelled.
Our history. Our humanity.
“Connection is the energy that exits between people when they feel seen, heard and valued.”
Story Night Themes
Each Story Night has a theme which is provided to inspire and help you find your story.
Next Event: Tuesday 12 May
Theme: BLOOD
Blood moons, blood oranges or Bloody Marys... what’s your true story on the theme of blood?
Come along and articulate your anecdote of a trickle, flow or splatter. Report your reflection of blood sweat and tears, a time your blood ran cold, or a blood oath. Does the sight of blood make you weak at the knees? Are you bound by blood or shaped by choice?
Come along to Story Nights and bring your tale of blood – the lifeforce that pumps through all of us!
The theme is provided to inspire but should never hold you back! If you have a story to share and it has no connection to the theme, you will be welcome to share it anyway.
Do I have to tell a story?
There's no requirement to tell a story, in fact, listeners are needed just as much as storytellers. Listeners have the important job of ‘holding’ storytellers as they speak.
If you would like to tell a story, simply ask to have your name added to the board upon arrival or reserve a place on the board by emailing me prior: karen@storynights.com.au
Due to the adult nature of the stories that may be shared, audience members are required to be 16 years of age or older.
