 *This event is curated for Storytelling Australia Victoria by Durgah Devi Palanisamy (Dee) and her support team.
  • We have spaces for eight storytellers. 
  • We request that each story is ten minutes or less.
  • Selection of the storytellers will be based on the different genres of stories and the various styles of storytelling within our membership. You will need to be a current member of Storytelling Australia Victoria. Kindly ensure that your membership is active.
Chosen participants are requested to attend a full dress rehearsal at the Fabled Nights in Newport on Friday, 15th MARCH at 7:30pm. (You will be notified of the Fabled Nights events for 2019 shortly.) This is to ensure that all the performances are in sync with the theme and to assist the ordering of the stories. It is also a great way to build our community and take your story for a test run. If you are unable to attend, please be clear about this on your application so we can make other arrangements.

If you wish to toss your hat into the ring:
