LA Arts is pleased to host “The Corner,” an evening of community storytelling, organized by Community Plate. Join us in the LA Arts Gallery on the 2nd Thursday of each month from 7-9pm. New this season: A dessert potluck!
Come listen. Come tell! This is a free community event for storytellers and story listeners -- a chance to be in community with diverse people; an opportunity to learn about other people and get a glimpse into others’ lives; and a way to connect to others.
With new story themes announced each month, this is an open call for aspiring and experienced storytellers to step into the spotlight for a few minutes of personal storytelling. The themes at The Corner are always just a starting point, meant to be interpreted broadly to spark your storytelling appetite and get the creative juices flowing!
March's Theme: "Unexpected Love"
Cupid's arrow doth love to strike from directions unanticipated. It's the nature of love to catch us unawares. It's not just romantic love that can come without warning or wrapped in surprise. Have you ever been listening to the radio and swooned over the lyrics of a random song? Has your dad ever vetoed a pet, or been determined to hate it, only to find himself in love and attached to it? Do you have a story about a place, person, or object you fell in love with--or played a surprising part in your own love story? A bus, perhaps? As the bard (or was it The Troggs?) says, love is all around us. And when we're not looking, when we've sworn it off, when we're in the most random situation, love finds a way in. So come to The Corner in February, you never know what you might find.
As always the themes at The Corner are just a starting point, an opportunity to take a story in any direction. There’s no right or wrong–you can’t miss. So come to The Corner to tell or listen. You won’t want to miss out.
* Some stories may include adult themes and language.
