Hello Story Folk
This month is our final Fabled Nights for 2019.
And we have a special guest!
Mala Rao is from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. She has many hats including Microbiologist, Librarian and a Teacher. But for some time now, she has been telling stories. Calling herself 'The Tale Traveler', she loves to travel and share stories.
Recently at Fabled Nights we have been learning how to record ourselves with a view to making a podcast. We are always learning something. Of course if you come along, you will be under no pressure - we will switch off and just listen. (If we can find the on/off switch!)
Fabled Nights in Newport is an informal 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 common sense prevail: racist and homophobic stories hurt people so please don't bring them to Fabled Nights.

* Please note this is the final Final Fabled Nights as hosted by Storytelling Australia Victoria. In 2020 our story gatherings will continue but as a group under the welcoming wings of the Newport Fiddle and Folk Club. We will have a new name and you will be invited to join the NFFC. More news to come.
Warm regards to all
