Conundrum Chronicles
at The Marsh San Francisco
(7pm / Conundrum Chronicles Storytelling Summit - Past Winners Compete!)
Conundrum Chronicles
(A StorySlam)
Hosted by Fred Brill
Where Stories are Told * Moral Dilemmas Unfold * Judgements are Bold!
In Person at The Marsh San Francisco Mainstage
The Conundrum Chronicles uses a StorySlam format that challenges storytellers to share a five-minute story about a moral dilemma they have confronted. (First-time storytellers are especially welcome!) Audience members are then invited to discuss, and score each story based on the elements of the stories, giving meaningful feedback to the storytellers.
Guidelines:
Seven storytellers are drawn from a hat on the night of the performance. There will also be a featured storyteller
All stories must be true, about you, and connected to the theme.
No notes are allowed.
Stories must be respectful of individuals, avoiding disparagement based on culture, class, race, sex, religion, language, gender identity, sexual preference, age, and ability/disability.
Stories must be five minutes long (with a one minute grade period).
After each story is told, audience members will have the opportunity to discuss the qualities of the stories with their friends and elbow partners.
Audience members will then score storytellers using a Google Survey based on:
* Authenticity
* Entertainment
* Stakes/Tension
* Heart-touching
* Reflection and Resolution
Through this unique scoring system, not only will the winning story be determined, but storytellers will receive real-time feedback on the impact of their narratives. Celebrate the power of storytelling to entertain, inspire reflection, and empathy.
