Yarn: Stories spun in Brisbane is a bi-monthly, themed storytelling event, featuring true stories, told live and without notes. Held in bars, cafes, and homes around Brisbane: come to share stories, hear stories, and connect through story. All tellers and all listeners are welcome
Nicola Scott spoke with one of Yarn's tireless organisers, Ryan Sim, about how it started, what it involves, and some of the most memorable speakers to strut the stage thus far.
This feature also contains excerpts from the live Yarn event held at Black Bear Lodge in February 2013. Hear partial tales from Venero Armano, Priscilla Sutton, Danny Ford, Dan Lynch, Alex Bayliss, and Erin Ward, on the theme 'Back to School: stories of lessons learned and rules broken'.
