Fabled Nights: October 19 and November 16

Fabled Nights in Newport will soon be winding up for 2018.
We have two more gatherings left, 19th October and 16th November.
BUT there is work to be done!!!

Storytelling Australia Victoria is celebrating World Storytelling Day 2019 at The Dock on March 23rd.

THEME: Myths, Legends and Epics.

We'll have a curated show for children in the morning and in the afternoon, Storytelling Australia Vic storytellers will be invited to share a story for adults.

TIME TO PRACTICE
If you would like to toss your hat into the ring for the afternoon show,  we suggest you start researching and practicing now. And what better place to practice than at Fabled Nights. Think 10 minutes and think big!

An Expression of Interest form will be sent to our members closer to the end of year, so now is a good time to check your status if you wish to tell a story. Membership.

Fabled Nights in Newport is an open-hearted space for people who want to learn to craft true tales, traditional stories, tall tales and yarns; heart to heart and without notes. We welcome beginners and experienced folks. So come and strut your stuff, share what you know, try out a new story or tell a tale for the first time.

There's room for around 10 storytellers and we ask that stories be no longer than 10 minutes, give or take. We ask that stories be said not read.

We reserve 2 - 15 minute places for people who want to try out longer stories.

Let kind hearts and commonsense prevail: racist and homophobic stories hurt people so please don't bring them to Fabled Nights.
