STORYTELLING WORKSHOP - The Dublin Story Slam presents City Stories at Five Lamps Arts Festival

"“The Dublin Story Slam was the right mix of good craic, support and human connection, that gave me the gumption to jump up to tell a story one night. It was such a thrill to do and I came away from it buzzing and feeling so fulfilled.”

- Michelle Luck(Story Slam Champion

City Stories from The Dublin Story Slam is a new community programme that brings people together to learn and connect with each other from our shared stories. In this FREE 60minute group workshop at this year's Five Lamps Arts Festival, we're looking to share stories inspired by the theme Neighbourhood. We'll help you identify a story you can share with confidence, structure it in a way that makes sense for you and your audience and help you deliver your story with confidence. Silly, serious, sad or surprising, your story can be about anything as long as it's true and personal and inspired by the theme: Neighbourhood. Participants will then be invited to share these stories at our storytelling event in Charleville Mall Library at a Storytelling event with regular Story Slam Host - Sharon Mannion. 

Join us for this 60 minute session where even if you only have a tiny spark of an idea for a personal story, you'd like to share, we'll help you tease it into a tale you can deliver onstage with confidence. Places are limited so please only sign up if you're sure you can make it!
