Description

Once a month we come together and hear people tell TRUE (funny, serious, sad, harrowing, interesting) stories about their lives. IF YOU ARE COMING, INVITE YOUR FRIENDS Tulsa's Monthly StorySlam theme: Lockdown Location: Living Arts (ages 18+, $7 cover) Once a month we come together and hear people tell TRUE (funny, serious, sad, harrowing, interesting) stories about their lives. HOW DOES A STORY SLAM WORK? Every event has a theme, and everyone in the audience is invited to share a personal story related to the theme. This month the theme is LOCKDOWN. Plenty of stories can be molded to fit this theme, so BE BRAVE and come and put your name in the hat! If you have a story you want to tell, leave us your name at the door. Every potential storyteller's name gets thrown in a hat. 10 names are drawn and each storyteller has 5 minutes on the mic to tell a story and win the crowd. 'Judges' are audience members who score the teller/tale on a 10 point scale. The highest scoring teller gets a cash prize and an invitation to participate in the yearly Grand Slam in May 2022. At the Grand Slam the monthly winners vie for the spot of "Best Storyteller in Tulsa". WHO TELLS A STORY? Anyone who wants to! Living Arts was organized in 1969 for the development and presentation of contemporary art in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We are interested in newly evolving ideas, in the creation of art forms, in exploring the relationship of art to other disciplines and fields of knowledge and in sharing its interests with the community by encouraging the public to attend and participate in creative workshops, performances, exhibitions, films, demonstrations of current art, lectures, related educational activities and research. We consider art as a basic and functional essential to each person’s full development. Living Arts strives to help create an environment in which art may thrive. We are aware, informed and actively participate in cultural history-in-the-making.
