2018-12-09 13:00:00 2018-12-09 17:00:00 Asia/Kolkata Kommuneity Weekend #8 (Ahmedabad Edition) Kommuneity, we’ve had workshops as well as story slams. Our workshops have you walking in with words and walking out with stories – stories you never knew existed, stories you never thought were worth sharing. Our story slams are what unique Sundays are made of, complete with tellers breaking down their walls and finding support in strangers who look a lot less strange by the end of the evening. Both events however, define the Kommuneity. So we’ve decided to combine the two to give you a day filled with all things Kommune, a day you’ll want to repeat again and again. Welcome to our first ever events in Ahmedabad, and the eighth edition of the newly launched Kommuneity Weekend, where we marry the beauty of learning with the promise of growing. So Ahmedabad, we come to you with an afternoon of learning and an evening of performing. The theme for this story slam is ‘Strangers.’ Often, some of your best memories are made with strangers. Maybe it’s the person you made eye contact with in the train, maybe it’s a stranger you judged, only to become best friends with. So tell us of the strangers in your life. Of those who are a big part of your story and those who aren’t. Participants will receive complimentary writing material. After all, what’s a writer without a book? So join us as we create, captivate, and collaborate at this Kommuneity weekend! Why should you attend the workshop? – Learn how to turn every experience into a brilliant 5 minute story, a skill that is often used in interviews and presentations. A skill that is left out of the school syllabus. – Learn how to string the beginning, the middle and the end together to make a kickass story. – Skip the submission and feedback process and learn directly from some of the most loved storytellers and creators. – Have an intimate session of learning, sharing, and creating. – Walk in prepared for story slams, where they often find amazing performers, stories, and storytellers. – Begin the journey of self-editing and curating – become your own most reliable critic. Why should you attend the Story Slam? – Kommune Story Slams are intimate evenings where storytellers get a chance to tell their stories, with or without curation. – More importantly however, it’s a chance to become a better storyteller, perform in front of a supportive crowd and take part in a completely democratic competition (the audience votes to pick the winner). – Some of the best poets and storytellers have been slam winners – this includes names like Mohammed Sadriwala and Gaurav Tripathi. To participate, please read the rules carefully – The theme for this session is ‘Strangers.’ All stories must reflect the theme. – Only original and personal stories (from your own life) are allowed. Fictional stories and poetry are not allowed for the Story Slam. Kommune does not encourage reading out your story/using books/paper/phones for reference. – The time limit is 5 minutes per story. – To send submissions, attach a screenshot of your Insider ticket along with a brief description of your story to team@kommuneity.co.in with the subject line “Kommuneity Weekend (Ahmedabad): Strangers” – Submitted stories will make it to the Kommune Slam Jar and by random selection, tellers will be picked to perform. Best stories of the day get a lot of love and amazing prizes! Source : Facebook. The Ummed Ahmedabad International Airport Circle, Hansol, Ahmedabad, India 382475.
