What we’re about
### A Community of Storylovers
Love a good story? So do we! We're trying to build a vibrant community of storytellers and story-listeners in Bangkok, inspired by The Moth, the renowned U.S.-based nonprofit that celebrates the art of true, personal storytelling. Check out some of their stories here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRmR7jg2s4-QRspLm-fbpCy3qRwj_rTpK
Our goal? To create a space where people can connect, share, and listen to real-life stories—whether hilarious, heartwarming, or profound. Don't like being the center of attention? That's fine too! Our storytellers need kinda, responsive and encouraging audience members to help them grow their storytelling skills!
### What to Expect
We'll kick things off with casual, interactive events to bring storytellers (and story lovers) together:
🔹 Meet & Mingle Nights – Casual hangs to make friends and foster community
🔹 Storytelling Games – Party games like It's Kind of a Fun Story to spark creativity.
🔹 Workshops & Story Labs – Test out new stories and refine them with feedback.
🔹 Alternative Storytelling Challenges – Unique formats like World’s Best Liar or Improv Storytelling.
### The Big Goal: Monthly StorySLAMs 🎤
Once we grow our community, we’ll host StorySLAMs—live, open-mic storytelling competitions inspired by The Moth. Anyone can take the stage and share a true, personal, 5-minute story based on the night’s theme. No notes allowed—it’s all about telling, not reading!
How it works:
✅ Up to 10 volunteer storytellers are chosen at random.
✅ Each story is judged by audience volunteers on a scale of 1 to 10.
✅ Highest score wins the night!
Whether you're a seasoned storyteller or just love to listen, come join us! Let’s build a community where meaningful stories create lasting connections.a
