Daring Stories: Starting Fresh

Daring Stories is a live storytelling event from The New Narrative. Through a mix of open mic and featured storytellers, each night will explore a new theme on the concept of daring; such as overcoming obstacles, dealing with challenges, finding personal courage, and working to make a more equitable world.

This month’s theme is Starting Fresh. The new year is always a moment to consider new beginnings. We’d love to hear your stories on the times in your life when you made a change, discarded an old way, and embarked on something new. How dramatic was the change? What prompted the move? What did you learn from it, both about the world and about yourself?

Whether you have a story to share or just want to listen, we’d love to have you join us. Open mic stories are 5 minutes. Featured storytellers get 8 minutes. If you're interested in being a featured storyteller you can get more information here. 

Each event will include a storytelling workshop an hour before the actual show too. If you’re feeling nervous or unsure, the workshop will provide an opportunity to learn more about storytelling and practice in a lower-stakes setting.

The world needs powerful storytellers now more than ever. Through sharing the stories of what matters to us most we learn about ourselves, grow as leaders, build community, and craft the narrative for the world we want to live in.

Come join us to see first hand how powerful storytelling can be!
