Boulder Story Slam & Workshop - Teen Edition

Are you a teen with a story to tell?

Do you sometimes feel like you don’t have a story to tell, but you want to find one?

Are you scared of speaking on stage but secretly (or not so secretly) wish you weren’t?

Or are you ready to take the stage and show the world you have something to say?

Whether you love it or long to love it, Whether it scares you or excites you, WE WANT YOU to join the second round of Boulder’s Story Slam TEEN EDITION.

Here’s how it works:
We’ll have a 6 week workshop to dig in, find your story, and craft it into a story you’re excited to tell on stage.
You’ll learn secrets for telling great stories (yes even if you feel like a horrible storyteller).
You’ll learn how to deal with nerves and jitters when you speak.
AND you’ll get to deliver your story at a public event with a real live audience.

Are you in?

This one’s for 10 teens ages 13-15 who are excited to kick off an ongoing teen story slam series.
(We’ll do one for older teens later so stay tuned)

We’ll meet on Monday afternoons at The Dairy Arts Center. January 27-March 9, 4:15-6:15pm. We’ll celebrate with a story slam open to the public on March 16.

We’re asking for a sliding scale donation to help cover costs. $60-120 for the 6 workshop session plus the slam. Some scholarships available. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. If you have the resources to pay higher on the scale, please do so to help fund a teen who doesn’t.
