One of the most magical experiences you can have in Jacksonville ::: Story Slam (or really, anything Barbara Colaciello is involved with!). Now in its fourth year, story slams offer an opportunity for people to share a true story, hone the craft of oral storytelling, and connect with community.
Storytellers have 10 minutes to tell a TRUE personal story based on the THEME without the use of notes. Audience members get to vote for their fave storyteller! The winner of the popular vote receives a $50.00 Gift Certificate to WOLF & CUB, our favorite downtown Jax sponsor retail shop.
WHAT'S A STORY SLAM? A story slam is a live storytelling friendly competition similar to poetry slams. Storytellers have 5 to 7 minutes each to tell a TRUE personal story based on a THEME chosen for the event without the use of notes.
HOW IT WORKS Every story slam event has a HOST and a THEME.
•Audience members can prepare a story and enter their name in a hat or decide to sit back and listen.
•8 - 10 people's names are picked from the hat.
•At the end of the evening the audience votes for their favorite storyteller.
