Story S.l.a.p. Guidelines
Anyone can be a story-teller! If you're a story-telling master, or a "non-performer" who just wants to spin a good yarn, we would love for you to be a part of our first story-telling event, the Off Center's "STORY SLAP."
​
​
The Story Slap can be whatever you want it to be, but here are some guidelines.
-
Each slap has a unique prompt. Participants are encouraged to use it as a spring board, and not a barrier.
-
The story can be as short as a few minutes, but should not be more than ten minutes to make room for other story tellers.
-
Stories from the first person are strongly encouraged, but elaborate lies are more than welcome.
-
Please be kind. The Off Center is a place for everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or ability. Hate is not welcome here.
-
People of every background are encouraged to submit and participate.
-
Story coaching, or just help rehearsing is available for storytellers upon request. Email offcenterstaunton@gmail.com.
