Story Week is Common-Unity.

Story Week innovates the ways we tell stories finding a common unity. People are sharing: some slam in big rooms, some yarn in dining rooms. Not celebrities. We close the distance between artist and audience, exchange stories in new intimate ways.

Story Week 2024 (SW24) offers a new ancient form of connection. We share stories at dinner tables. Art passed around in small circles.

Call this family style spoken word. Or talking circles, yarning or storytelling clubs. Instead of talking in circles or talking-about-reading-other-people’s-stories clubs.

When strangers come together in the shape of a family around a table to tell stories: a storytelling event becomes a 12-person metaphor buffet.

Story Week features Australian Poetry Slam Finals in Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales.
