A wonderful event was held at The Conway Hall earlier today. The Story is a one-day conference about stories and story-telling. I have been working on a pitch today so could not attend so i donated my ticket to a friend who will give me more of a lowdown later today. I have been following the Tweets all day and it sounds like a missed a great event.
The event is a celebration of everything that is wonderful, inspiring and awesome about stories, in whatever medium possible. there were stories that were written, spoken, played, described, enacted, whispered, projected, orchestrated, performed, printed, generally in whatever form stories come in.
The Story event was not about theories of stories, or making money from stories, but about the sheer visceral pleasure of telling a story. Whether it is in a game, a movie, a book, or a pub, we’ve all heard or told or been part of stories that have made us gasp, cry or just laugh.
