Story Slam

Story Slam Location: Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts, 130 Navy St, Oakville Time: Starts 8:00 p.m. Join in as Oakville Centre celebrates a community that recognizes the dignity and worth of every person.

Filled with laughter and tears their Story Slam Series provides an authentic and powerful interaction between storytellers and audience. Each story is a soul-searching exercise as it takes an intense creative process to create and present a heartfelt narrative.

As each storyteller processes their world inside, they can discover enlightenment. This method is inspired by the three main stages of the “Hero’s Journey”, a narrative pattern identified by Joseph Campbell, world-celebrated mythologist.

He asserts that storytelling and myths relate to our search for truth, meaning, and significance.
