Join us for our science story slam! Our community of storytellers offers a warm, supportive environment in which storytellers of all backgrounds and levels of experience can experiment (pun not intended!) with personal narrative.

If you’re interested in telling a story, you’ll have the opportunity to put your name in the virtual hat at the start of the show.  Five lucky storytellers will get the opportunity to share their stories on screen. (For more guidance on telling a story at one of our slams, see our advice at the bottom of this page.)  If you would prefer just to be a part of the audience, that’s fine too! The theme this month will be "Transformation.”

Our two coaches -- representing expertise in both story performance and science communication -- will offer each storyteller advice and encouragement to help them bring out the best in their stories.

Tickets are $10 and are on sale now at the link below! Our slams are limited to only sixty spots, in order to preserve a sense of community, so reserve your spot while you can!

Stories should be five to six minutes long. (You’ll see a warning flash on screen when you have one minute left.)

Stories should have a beginning, middle, and end, and should involve some kind of personal change, whether it’s big or small.

Your story must be a first-person narrative -- in other words, it must be about you!

Because this is Story Collider, your story should be connected to, or inspired by, science in some way.

Try to have a pair of headphones handy, in case we experience feedback.

If you can, test out your camera and microphone ahead of time, here: https://www.crowdcast.io/setup

If possible, try to make sure you’re in a low-traffic area with minimal ambient noise.

If you’d like to be really thorough, you can find our full setup guide for storytellers here!
