Story Week – Grow Deeper

Story Week asks what stories are we telling now, how, why, when and where?  We meet people where they are. Simply asking people during one week a year to host spaces for stories and make this your community’s focus.

STORY WEEK 2024

Story Week is Common-Unity.
Story Week innovates the ways we tell stories finding a common unity. People are sharing: some slam in big rooms, some yarn in dining rooms. Not celebrities. We close the distance between artist and audience, exchange stories in new intimate ways.

Featuring Australian Poetry Slam Finals in Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales.
