Shetland Story Slam

Join us for a night of live, personal storytelling at the first Shetland Story Slam. Come along as an audience member, or put your name forward to tell a story.

Shetland has a rich storytelling tradition. Gathering together to share and listen to stories in-person connects our community and celebrates the diversity and commonality of our experiences. Shetland Story Slam is inspired by the award-winning Moth storytelling events, first held in New York City 25 years ago.

Do you have a story about 'place'? We're looking for people to tell a five minute, true life story at the first Shetland Story Slam.

Theme: Prepare a five minute story on the theme of 'place'. It could be about the time you felt out of place, or the time you were in the right place at the right time. Maybe it's about when you finally put your nemesis in their place, or you got up the nerve to ask "your place or mine?" Or, your story could be about some other place entirely...

If you have any questions, please email U2hldGxhbmRTdG9yeVNsYW0gfCBnbWFpbCAhIGNvbQ==.
