STORYSLAM: DON'T LOOK BACK

COME SHARE AND LISTEN TO STORIES

Zurich Storytellers StorySLAM is an open-mic storytelling show in which anyone can share a true, personal, 5-minute story on the night's theme.

Sign up for a chance to tell a story or sit back and enjoy the show!

JANUARY'S THEME IS ... DON'T LOOK BACK

“Don’t look back,” — meaning banish all second thoughts and all self-doubt. Once you cast off from the dock, don’t turn around to gaze back fondly at the shore. Prepare a 5-minute story about launching new ventures or trying out new endeavors, e.g. a new romance and tell your true story on our L200 stage.

“Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.”
— Henry David Thoreau

L200 Event Space Langstrasse 200, 8005 Zurich

A SIMPLIFIED GUIDE FOR DESIGNING YOUR STORY

Define a character (probably yourself;-) How were you feeling at that moment? Confident, lonely, conflicted, anxious, stressed, in lust or love?
Where are you? Home, work, sunset, on the street, hotel, hiking in the mountains?
What’s at stake? Career, security, peace of mind, redemption, future happiness?
What was the crisis or conflict that triggered that moment for you?
How did it work out? Did it make you happy, joyful, and peaceful or are you sad, resentful, and filled with remorse? Bring us full circle and share your beautiful truth as you are now.
