In StorySlam, strangers go on stage & bare their souls

IF WHAT'S DONE in the dark will come to light, baring your soul to a shadowy room of strangers could end in disgrace. But at First Person Arts StorySlam, where 10 amateur storytellers mount a dimly lit stage to share details of intimate experiences with an audience of unknowns, it usually ends with applause.
A hybrid of a confessional and an open-mic night, StorySlam is "the most democratic" way for the average person to share experiences, says First Person Arts founder Vicki Solat.

Bravehearted volunteers - perhaps emboldened by a glass or two of wine - take the stage to tell their own original story, which must adhere to a particular theme and be less than five minutes long. Judges, who are also plucked from the audience, rate the performances on content and delivery.

The next StorySlam won't be until May 27th (Theme: "Secrets"), but all the videos from are up at uwishunu's YouTube page. One of my favorites was this one about a guy and his masseur. But if you want to get a look at some of the other stuff First Person Arts is up to, the Gershman Y ain't too far a walk from Bella Vista/QV. Wednesday May 14th at 7pm is our next Salon. See profiles of the artists at our blog:

Walk on over or ride your bike...

This 2 minute video explains

It's getting to be that time again! When you get back from your Memorial Day weekend, it's First Person Arts StorySlam time. The theme is "Secrets"

StorySlams are the 4th Tuesday of every month at L'Etage (upstairs from Beau Monde at 6th and Bainbridge) Doors at 7:30 and the Slam starts at 8:30. Cover is a sliding scale: $5-$10 (First Person Arts is a non-profit, so give give give!)

DigPhilly's going to be there to cover this one, so your story might be on the TEEVEE!

Here's one from last month to tide you over: http://youtube.com/watch?v=9VDNTwUVSJY

Tonight's the night over at L'Etage to get your "SECRETS" StorySlam on. I hope, like last month, that some of you can make it!

Details!

Thanks to those who made it out last night! It was packed, and I'm sorry if any of you were turned away at the door. Hope you'll come back next month (June 24th, when the theme will be "On the Road") Uwishunu's already posted last night's winner: Katonya!
