The Clam: Getting Lost
Sign up to tell a story!
Theme of the night: Getting Lost
Please know your story “by heart” but not by rote memorization.
No notes, paper or cheat sheets allowed on stage.
You’ll have five minutes to woo the audience with tales of your on-theme escapades.
-
Your story should be told, not read. The storyteller better connects with the audience when there is no PAGE between them!
Have some stakes
Stakes are essential in live storytelling. What do you stand to gain or lose? Why is what happens in the story important to you? If you can’t answer this, then think of a different story. A story without stakes is an essay and is best experienced on the page, not the stage.
Start in the action.Have a great first line that sets up the stakes and grabs attention
Know your story well enough so you can have fun!
Enjoy yourself. Imagine you are at a dinner party, not a deposition.What not to do:
Steer clear of meandering endings
No standup routines please
No rants
No essays
No fake accents

Death Cafe
A traditional Death Cafe is an informal gathering where people eat, drink, and discuss all things related to death and dying, created to increase awareness of death, and help people make the most of their finite lives. It isn't grief counseling, or grief support, and there is no agenda; but it is a safe space for anyone interested in coming together to connect with others and discuss death and dying in any capacity.
Your host: Aimee B. Jones, local companion caregiver, and certified End of Life doula.
