Have a story you’re itching to tell? Unsure about how to tell it or who to tell it to? Dubious about whether anyone even wants to hear it?

With a nod to our friends at The Moth, SpokenStorySlamKC invites you to share your compelling, funny, tragic, sweet, memorable moments of life…or just come to listen. We're all about the power of story to build community; let's build ours! We invite you to become a part of the construction crew!

3. Be Prepared
If you've got a story to tell (and we all do!), but the thought of telling that story in front of a live audience makes you want to curl up in a fetal position and suck your toes, then help is on the way. We have individual coaching sessions available. Our creative team is positively salivating waiting to hear from you. Just contact us through the form below, and we'll connect you with one of them soon (possibly because we want to stop the drooling, but mostly because we're excited to help you find and tell your story!). Fee: $35 |
The workshops and storytelling event are intended for adult audiences and participants. We recommend all attendees be over the age of 12.
Any questions? We're ready for 'em!
A COVID Community Storytelling Project
Coming soon!
Believing it will take more than a vaccine, a negative test, or a normal temperature to heal from our collective COVID-19 pandemic experiences and convinced that story is a crucial part of the healing process, IPA is excited to bring you our community storytelling project! This original work is currently in development and will be based on the stories you tell us. These stories will be curated and edited by IPA’s artistic director, Bobbie Jeffrey. The project welcomes director Will Sharp Williamson to the IPA stage.
