StorySLAM:Live 03 Special Announcement
The bad news: Due to a dates clash Polar Bear unfortunately won’t be able to host the next Story Slam on March 25th.
The good news: Ever since the first event we’ve been thinking about what made it so successful. One of the key elements we think is the unique presence of Charlie Dark. This was confirmed after he stepped in for Lemn Sissay on StorySLAM:Live 02. We think his contribution now lies very much at the heart of the vibe of StorySLAM:Live. We’ve talked to Charlie about this and he’s agreed to join the team as the permanent host of StorySLAM:Live.
More good news: We will, however, continue to seek out and book guest artists to read and judge at our events. This will begin with Laura Dockrill’s appearance at StorySLAM:Live 04 on May 27th.
We’re looking forward to seeing you all at both events. Watch this space too for other special events coming up around London.
A Slamming Start
The first StorySLAM happened last night. Sometimes in life you have to have some magic and it was- absolutely magical.
As Mark Lewis, one of the joint prize-winners said, “Though a bit nerve-wracking, I really enjoyed the evening.” Me too. It was everything we’d envisaged and more. First and foremost the stories were brilliant. We had a talented bunch of seven competing, most of who hadn’t been on stage reading before.
