TRUE STORIES OUT LOUD
proudly presents an arts alternative to the RWC
Presented as part of Basement Fest 2011 True Stories Out Loud is a live story telling event where people you may know, and others you would never otherwise have heard of, get up and tell a true story that’s no longer than 10 minutes and inspired by a cast of ever changing themes.
There are no notes and no props, which means no script, no photos or videos, slideshows, projectors or music. But trust us, words do suffice. They can be funny, moving, inspiring, humanising, devious and strange. They are our stories, they are us listening to each other; they are little bits of the sum of us shared with complete strangers.
This special series, specifically designed as part of the Rugby World Cup alternative arts festival The Basement Fest, has stories on Family, Rebellion & Love by the likes of:
MICHAEL HURST * JACINDA ARDERN * MORGANA O’REILLY *
TIM LAMBOURNE* CHRIS MOLLOY * VENUS STEPHENS *
