ABOUT THE EVENT:
Over the past year, Wandering Aesthetics, The Akronist and Jilly’s Music Room partnered to produce nine Full Circle Storytelling events – each inspired by a prompt and an idea: everyone has a story.
From these open mic events, eight storytellers were chosen to work with Wandering Aesthetics’ Director of Education Kyle Jozsa to shape their stories and present them at ‘Full Circle Storytelling: Collected Works, Vol. 2.’ Special guest Neema Tamang, a Nepali actor who recently performed in ‘In Search of Alternative Dreams’ as part of Gum-Dip Theatre’s Nepali Applause Festival, has been invited to share a story about “first love in a refugee camp.” DJ AaRron Epps will guide the gathering, spinning soulful soundscapes as the evening’s emcee.
Stories range from heart wrenching to hysterical – and everywhere in-between!
