25.01.2022 The Living in a Gendered World storytelling project is ready. Eleven storytellers, community members, men and women and gender diverse folk, have been working... hard to craft and practise a story, a true personal story, that tells us something of how they have experienced and made sense of living in a gendered world. This will be an amazing night of heart warming, surprising, fascinating, meaningful and deeply human stories. Tickets are free but seating is limited. Bookings are essential. https://www.mrsc.vic.gov.au//Living-in-a-Gendered-World-st

23.01.2022 Fabled Nights has a new name but it's business as usual. Please check in on the new page. This monthly gathering in Newport is a space where people practice the art of spoken story - we speak rather than read (unless you are in the process of preparing a piece). We are all about process and practice so when you get up in front of the mike, you're ready and at your best.

22.01.2022 Storytelling, in its many forms, is an age-old way of sharing experiences. A Place at the Table will share tellings of queer meanderings from many perspectives ...and explore journeys of identity, belonging, truth, emotion, and life. This evening gives voice to the stories that often go untold, unacknowledged, or distorted - through powerful spoken word performances. Hear members of our community speak of Coming Out stories; the ones they have, and the ones they wanted. Share experiences of being queered, staying in and finding a voice. This event is produced by members of LGBTIQA+ communities, for members of LGBTIQA+ communities. All families and their LGBTIQA+ loved ones are invited to come along and bare witness, connect, recognise, and share their journey so far. A place at the table is presented by queerspace in collaboration with Melbourne Spoken Word. queerspace is an LGBTIQA+ health and wellbeing service, established by LGBTIQA+ communities for LGBTIQA+ communities. queerspace has a focus on relationships, families, parenting and young people and offers services across the north-west region of Melbourne.

17.01.2022 Federation of Asian Storytellers announcing the 3rd Annual STORYTELLERS' CONFERENCE Jakarta 2-3 November 2020... Features the silhouettes of MONAS, the National Monument in Jakarta, which celebrates Indonesia's journey to freedom, and Borobudur, the UNESCO World Heritage Buddhist site close to Jogjakarta, whose design is inspired by the pilgrim's journey to Nirvana. The Journey We are adopting the metaphor of a journey as a theme for the Conference. It relates to our personal journeys as storytellers, every participant will chart their own course through the Conference and its workshops (see the story below!). FEAST itself is on a journey, and the Conference is always travelling. However, we do not expect that every workshop will tie explicitly to the theme! SCHEDULE SUMMARY 31 October | Welcome Dinner 1 November | Indonesia International Storytelling Festival 2-3 November | Storytellers' Conference OPTIONAL EXTENSION 4 November | Travel Day to Jogjakarta (1-hour flight) 5-7 November | Story Camp in Jogjakarta 7 November | Jogja International Storytelling Showcase (sharing stories among the pine trees!) 8 November | Return home (or continue to explore Java or Bali - one hour flight) IMPORTANT DATES: An OPEN CALL for WORKSHOP PROPOSALS will be issued by 1st February A call for MEMBERS to submit a story for the next FEAST story anthology will be issued by 1st February Details of the post Conference extension will be available by 15 April. Registration for the Conference will open in June. More details will be at https://feast.wildapricot.org/ #storytelling #storyteller #feast #confrence #indonesia #jakarta #jogjakarta

14.01.2022 OPEN CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS FOR THE FEAST STORYTELLERS' CONFERENCE 2020 (2 & 3 November 2020, Jakarta, Indonesia) SUBMISSION DEADLINE - 15 MARCH 2020... This is an open call for WORKSHOP PROPOSALS for the 3rd Storytellers Conference (Jakarta, 2-3 November 2020). We are planning for two workshop time-slots per day, with 3 or 4 workshops offered at each time-slot, meaning that we will need to programme between 12 16 workshops for the entire Conference. We expect each workshop will last 2-hours and should accommodate up to 40 people. In drafting your proposal, please bear in mind the following: Our Conference participants are relatively experienced storytellers. They may not be full-time professionals, but the vast majority are frequent and dedicated tellers. As such, they are not looking for introductory or general courses on, say, the benefits of telling, or telling in schools. Be specific if you are looking at an aspect of telling as a strategy the purpose, the age group, the modes of delivery, assessment, etc. Our members appreciate practical sessions. Some theory is fine, but the rave feedback is overwhelmingly for sessions in which participants were able to practice new skills. We are not looking for academic papers. Workshops which focus on techniques which are outside the regular repertoire of many tellers e.g. stories told with string, drawing, kamishibai, tangrams, shadow puppets - can be considered more introductory, but the emphasis should be on giving participants techniques they can take away and implement in their own practice. Be generous with your resources too: if you share a story, be prepared to allow participants to record your performance (though of course, you can insist this is only for their personal use and is not to be shared on any social media). We expect facilitators to be experienced in the field they are proposing. So for example, if you want to do a session on telling in womens prisons, please let us know where/when/what you have done in women's prisons. Your outline should also contain some description of how you will conduct the session: for example, does it feature demonstration, incorporate PowerPoint slides, involve pair or small-group work, and what is the nature of the hands-on participation or physical activity etc. Since neither the FEAST Directors nor the Jakarta Conference organisers may have had the pleasure of attending one of your workshops, we ask for references (an email address) so that we may contact people who have experienced you in action. We are interested to know about your experience/skill level and the manner in which you deliver your sessions. Two areas that we hope might be included in the Jakarta programme: Interpreting Ramayana and Mahabharata in S. E Asia: these stories have spread far beyond India and are popular, for example, in Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia. It would be an opportunity for two or more tellers to combine and share their various approaches. Indeed, collaborations between tellers can work very well Shalni Doshi and Juriah Atan (Telling with Seniors) and Jackie Kerin and AnnaManuel (Kamishibai and Almost Naked Storytelling) were two splendid examples where the dynamic of two contrasting co-presenters was very effective. As FEAST visits a predominantly Islamic country for the first time, we hope to hear some stories from the Islamic world (Nasreddin Hodja etc). Also, in the same way that Ambujavalli Nagarajan shared something of Indian cultural elements in Bangalore to help enrich our sharing of Indian folklore, I hope that our visit to Java will enhance participants awareness of Islamic culture, Javanese, and other cultures in Indonesia. Finally, in making our selections, we juggle the following concerns: * A desire to offer a diverse and challenging menu of choices that will, in totality, offer Conference registrants a set of rewarding and enriching experiences; * A need to balance the Asianness of FEAST with the experience of international tellers; * FEAST fans, who have attended previous Conferences, are keen to learn from new facilitators on different topics, while at the same time some facilitators have an appeal which warrants their return (albeit with a different workshop topic.) If you know of a teller who you think would be a good person to put forward a proposal, please encourage them to consider submitting their idea. Note that, as a token of appreciation, FEAST offers complimentary Conference Registration and an Invitation to the Welcome Dinner for all Workshop presenters, but that travel and accommodation is the responsibility of the individual. We look forward to receiving your proposals. Please click below for the workshop submission form. https://www.feast-story.org/event-3729109 DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS - 15 MARCH 2020

13.01.2022 ANNOUNCEMENT: Greetings to all of you who have been following this page hosted by Storytelling Australia Victoria (SAV). Since 2009, we have been posting as much of the storytelling news for Victoria that comes to our attention. We currently have 2489 followers. Not bad! SAV has a long history going back to the late 1970s. In 2006 we became an incorporated non-profit. A small group of committed volunteers have kept the wheels turning in line with the rules of an NFP but with busy lives we have found it impossible to recruit members to the executive. So despite our best efforts, we are unable to continue. Should anyone be interested in taking on the role of moderator for this Page, under a new banner please contact us. In the meantime you will notice fewer posts as we announce the final events under the SAV brand.

06.01.2022 Something for storytellers based in regional Australia.

05.01.2022 Imagine at your International Women's Day event, being swept away by folktales, myths and stories from throughout the ages, inlaid completely with womens power... and potential. 'Fantastic Feminist Folktales' is a storytelling performance that seeks to reclaim story as a place where equality is possible, and where women and girls are strong and whole and centre stage. This is a set of 6 stories that can be told altogether or just some of the stories or woven with other parts of an event. We are now taking bookings for Kate Lawrence to perform for IWD and other events throughout the year. I saw this show back in June and was thoroughly transportedThe Joan of Arc story still looms large. This is very empowering stuff from a thoughtful, creative woman storyteller
