Community Story Lab

Join us for our monthly virtual Community Story Lab!  The event is at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET. Sign up to share a 5-8 minute story or just show up and listen as an audience member! This is a one-of-a-kind event! It is one-part games, one-part open mic, and one-part master class. During the first hour, we play interactive storytelling games with the audience and listen to stories from people who sign up beforehand as well as a few on-the-spot volunteers. In the second hour, we discuss the stories and talk about structure, delivery, tension, meaning– all of the story components– and give supportive feedback in a masterclass-style session that everyone can benefit from. This is a compassionate and safe environment. The event is intended to be a space where you can come and listen to stories, learn more about yourself, others, and storytelling, and have a chance to flex your own storytelling muscles if you choose!

This month we are featuring immigrant storytellers. The line-up includes Diego Martinez-Campos, Vered de Vries, Tamara Lo, Lorena, and Aidee Navarrete. Our storytellers came from workshops we held in partnershp with our friends and family at the Latino Center of Art & Culture as well as our own virtual workshops Check out headshots of the tellers below!
