The
Moth storytelling program is coming to IU Bloomington!
Students
from all over campus are welcome to sign up for a two-day storytelling workshop
followed by a public StorySLAM.
The
free workshop will be presented by “The Moth Radio Hour” team and will
introduce students to the Seven Principles of Moth Storytelling, The Moth Story
Map, and elements of live performance. Students will work in small groups and
one-on-one with instructors, learning to shape their personal experiences into
well-crafted stories. The StorySLAM will take place on the third evening.
Participants can test out their new storytelling skills by throwing their names
in the hat to tell a true, five-minute story on the theme of CHOICES. All
events are free, but space is limited.

Space

Applications
will not be accepted without a story submission to the above email!
Some
GUIDELINES for the stories:
*
Stories should be TRUE, FIRST PERSON narratives.
*
While we appreciate good writing, this isn’t an essay contest! We want to work
with students who feel passionately about their material and are excited
to craft a story they can tell live at The Moth.
*
Think big or think small – be funny or serious - just be sincere about your
life and the moment you want to share. Tell us what pressures you faced, and
what you felt was significant about your choice.
Students
will be contacted on Monday, October 19 to confirm their space in the
workshop.
This
event is sponsored by the Provost’s Arts and Humanities Council.
