STORYSLAM: LOVE IS ...
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!

FEBRUARY'S THEME IS "LOVE IS ..."

We would hardly be human if not influenced by what LOVE IS. Try this: say “Love is ..” out loud to yourself. Did a song lyric or meme complete the sentence? A person, place or object? Hold that thought. Jot it down. Because you’ve got the beginning of a good story and our next StorySLAM is the perfect opportunity to tell it.

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell” — Joan Crawford

THRILLS AND CHILLS
February’s annual love-themed shows are always crowd-pleasers, delivering a rollercoaster ride into the heartbreak, wonder and thrill of deeply felt human emotions. This month’s StorySLAM theme “LOVE IS ..” will likely be oversubscribed, so avoid the waitlist, RSVP now by securing a seat on EventFrog.

A SIMPLIFIED GUIDE FOR DESIGNING YOUR STORY
  1. Define a character (probably yourself;-) How were you feeling at that moment? Confident, lonely, conflicted, anxious, stressed, in lust or love?
  2. Where are you? Home, work, sunset, on the street, hotel, hiking in the mountains?
  3. What’s at stake? Career, security, peace of mind, redemption, future happiness?
  4. What was the crisis or conflict that triggered that moment for you?
  5. 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.
