Daring Stories is a live storytelling event from The New Narrative. Through a mix of open mic and featured storytellers, each night will explore a new theme on the concept of daring; such as overcoming obstacles, dealing with challenges, finding personal courage, and working to make a more equitable world.
This month’s theme is This Is Me. Many of us have had the experience of having to hide our true selves, either because of the conditions we grew up in or just to fit in. The disguise might have been so complete that we even fooled ourselves. We want to hear the stories of the times when you shed this external mask and announced to the world who you really were. What was your biggest fear? What pushed you forward? What happened when you showed the world your true self?
Whether you have a story to share or just want to listen, we’d love to have you join us. Open mic stories are 5 minutes. Featured storytellers get 8 minutes. If you’re interested in being a featured storyteller you can get more info here.
Each event will include a storytelling workshop an hour before the actual show too. If you’re feeling nervous or unsure, the workshop will provide an opportunity to learn more about storytelling and practice in a lower-stakes setting.
The world needs powerful storytellers now more than ever. Through sharing the stories of what matters to us most we learn about ourselves, grow as leaders, build community, and craft the narrative for the world we want to live in.
Come join us to see first hand how powerful storytelling can be!
