What is a StoryLab?

StoryLabs are educational initiatives developed by FSA for the benefit of its members and the public.

Our goal is to provide high-quality, affordable opportunities for tellers and non-tellers alike to enhance their skills and appreciation of storytelling in community, family, and performance settings. The intensive sessions encompass a variety of story-related topics.

Typically scheduled as a one- to two-day event, StoryLabs take place throughout the state, and are a terrific way to expand your storytelling expertise!
 


StoryLab Proposal Guidelines

Because StoryLabs are designed to respond to the needs of local groups, organizations and communities, the StoryLab Committee encourages you to submit ideas for programs in your area.

You can do this in two ways:

  • E-mail the StoryLab chair to set up an appointment to discuss who and what would be appropriate, or

  • Choose teller(s), determine the subject and target audience and contact the StoryLab chair with a plan already fairly well mapped out.

In either case, we will need to determine the following information:

  1. Teller/facilitator

  2. Topic

  3. Local chair(s) and committee, contact information

  4. Local partner(s) (alternate source of funding, resources, registrations, etc., to share risk and responsibilities)

  5. Date/time

  6. Location (free locations are preferable)

  7. Fees (StoryLab fees generally vary from $49-$79 for FSA members)

  8. Additional arrangements (media needs, food, evaluations, etc.)

  9. Promotional plan

  10. Expenses
