The CAMPFIREBALL: a reverse storytelling event
The Campfireball is a storytelling show crafted in the moment around the lives and stories of the audience.
Storytelling is one of the most culturally important art forms we have, story is how we relate and connect with one another. In a moment when we seem to understand each other less and less we could use storytelling more and more. The Campfireball experience draws from the traditions of storytelling while turning the act of telling inside-out.
During The Campfireball the audience is not asked to sit passively, listening as stories are being told to them, the audience is the story. The Campfireball is built entirely around finding entertaining and unique ways of getting audience members excited to share pieces of their lives with each other. In The Campfireball the audience is the main attraction, and each event is completely unique to whoever happens to be sharing the space together. The result is an experience unlike any entertainment option out there, the show with the twist ending where, SURPRISE, the audience was actually a community all along.
Join us on Monday, August 11th for The Campfireball, a reverse storytelling event.
