STORYSLAM: LUCKY COINCIDENCE

COME SHARE AND LISTEN TO STORIES

Zurich Storytellers StorySLAM is an open-mic live storytelling show in which anyone can share a true, personal, 5-minute story on the night's theme.
Sign up at the door for a chance to tell a story or sit back and enjoy the show!

OCTOBER THEME

We are intentionally offering a double shot of thematic possibility to pique your storytelling itch this month. The theme is LUCKY COINCIDENCE. A shotgun marriage of two fortuitous concepts we hope will inspire you to recall stories that defy the credible and take us into the incredible.

“The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.” ― Bret Harte
“Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.” ― Albert Einstein

FEATURED STORYTELLERS ⭐️

Anyone is welcome to add their name to our story-sorting hat for a chance to tell a 5-min personal story on our L200 stage and feel the love of our hometown audience. But each month we also invite storytellers who have crushed it at a past StorySLAM to entertain us with a new story on the night’s theme.
Invites have gone out - who will heed the call with a LUCKY COINCIDENCE story this month? Can’t wait? Check out videos of past Storyteller winners on our Wall of Fame.

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.
