  New storytellers are always welcome!

  Every Friday night since 1978, storytellers and listeners have been gathering in Toronto for an open evening of oral stories. Each Friday night is unique, and everyone is welcome to come and listen, come and tell. On these nights, we come as listeners and as tellers: we may ramble on, recite, relate, recount, retell, or recollect; however, we may never, ever read. You might hear traditional tales, stories of personal experience, literary stories, original stories, ballads, or episodes from history, all told through the human voice.

  From storyteller Corin Raymond comes a joyously-bookish, spoken-word love-letter to the books we’ve loaned and lost, and to the secret paths they travel in the world to find us. BOOKMARKS is a “memoir-o-logue,” a feast of word-fun, and a healing spell for anyone who’s ever lost someone – or something – they deeply loved.

  Little more info:

  Corin Raymond is also a Juno-nominated singer/songwriter. His previous “bookish

  monologue,” Bookmarks (2011), won Best of Fringe in Vancouver in 2012 “Corin

  has impeccable timing, and his performance is at once intimate, open-hearted and

  evangelical,” Vancouver’s Georgia Straight. His other storytelling-show, The Great

  Canadian Tire Money Caper (2015), tells how Corin and a worldwide-community

  paid for the making of an entire double-album (Paper Nickels, 2013) with

  Canadian Tire money. Corin has released 8 full-length albums, and he keeps his

  stuff in Toronto, where he lives with his dog Reese.

  Don’t miss this exciting piece of theatrical storytelling performed by multi-award winning storyteller Jacqui Du Toit.

  Hottentot Venus Untold traces the life of Saartjie Baartman, an Indigenous South African woman taken into slavery and brought to London, where she was cruelly displayed as a “savage curiosity.” History remembers her as a symbol of exploitation—but her story is far more layered, resilient, and human.

  The performance unfolds in five chapters, each told through the voice of a fictional female character who, in some way—spiritually or physically—intersects with Saartjie’s journey. Each perspective reveals a different truth, creating a five-dimensional portrait of a woman whose life embodied both suffering and courage. Through movement, song, gesture, and spoken word, the voices of these women bring Saartjie’s story to life, challenging the audience to reflect on the ongoing realities of colonization, exploitation, and the erasure of Indigenous voices. At once intimate and epic, this storytelling theatre piece is not just a remembrance of Saartjie Baartman—it is also a mirror held up to the present. It confronts historical injustices while highlighting the strength of Indigenous women, both past and present, whose voices demand to be heard.

  Join us for a riveting afternoon of storytelling featuring a renowned collective of storytellers that have been part of the Festival since its inception - Queers in Your Ears!

  Founded in 1997 by Rico Rodriguez, this collective is dedicated to telling stories about being queer — stories that had long gone unheard. Focusing on original material, embracing vibrant, queer voices and perspectives, from personal histories to reimagined fairy tales, QIYE pushes boundaries and brings bold new dimensions to the art of storytelling. QIYE is a platform where our queer tales thrive, provoke, and inspire. This year, we trade halos for horns, indulge in some deadly sins, and add a few of our own. After all, QIYE has always proven that a little sin never hurt… much. This event features performances from Rico Rodrigues, Clare Nobbs, Jeffrey Canton, and TJ Banate!

  Don’t miss this performance of Raccontamiunastoria’s provoking and engaging performance of ILIAD- The song of Thetis, an epic storytelling show based on Homer’s Iliad.

  This show was created and performed by Paola Balbi and Davide Bardi and directed by Joele Anastasi.  An incendiary retelling of Homer’s Iliad, sung through the voice of Thetis, Achilles’mother. Two performers fluidly shift between gods and mortals, mother and warrior, goddess and lover, masculine and feminine, collapsing the boundaries of gender, power and fate. Love -maternal, erotic, spiritual- collides with the brutal machinery of war. Developed through international residencies and informed by artistic exchange with Lebanese and Palestinian collaborators working amid ongoing conflict, the production refuses nostalgia. Olympus is not distant; it is political, volatile, human. Nearly three millennia later, the epic burns with the same question: who wages war, and who pays the price?

  The production was developed through a two-year innovative creative process within the frame of MYTHICA Project 2024/2025, supported by Rome city Council involving international artistic residencies, open door rehearsals with audience involvement and contributions from top international storytellers and young emerging voices. Crucial to the creative process were real-time testimonies from women artists whose lives are presently affected by the ongoing war in the Middle East: Palestinian storyteller Fidaa Ataya and Lebanese storyteller Sarah Kassir. A key contribution came also by Martinican storyteller Valer Egouy, who supported the cast in exploring the psychological and social dynamics of slavery.

  "Suit the action to the word and the word to the action" Tell it with your body! 

  
  

  A Master class on gesture and body language for Performing Storytelling with Paola Balbi and Davide Bardi (Italy)

  The workshop will also include a short lecture about formal and informal Storytelling in training in Europe.

  Level: Any but need basic Storytelling practice
  

  Duration 3 hours. 

  
  

  "Storytelling is the art of conveying through words, gestures, body language and the modulation of the voice the images of a story to a specific audience." 

  This is the definition of Storytelling recognized and widely accepted by both  FEST- Federation for European Storytelling and National Storytelling US. This definition implies that for a good Storytelling performance a skillful use of body language and gestures are as important as the choice of words and voice modulation, and all these elements are connected.

  
  

  The title of the workshop is a famous quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet and we now know  that Shakespeare's main source of inspiration were Storytellers.

  Storytelling is a Performing Art in its own right and as such involves the use of both body and voice, but their use is technically different from the one required  in theatre.

  If this difference is not clear to you or you never thought about it, this workshop is for you!

  If you always thought this is relevant and you want to perfect your technique, this workshop is also for you!

  
  

  Paola and Davide are both trained actors and Storytellers with 20 years of experience will guide participants through an intense practical workshop aiming at a deep exploration of movement and body language techniques for Storytelling. 

  Through a very well designed and experimented progression of exercises they will provide everyone with a ready to use and practical tool box to elevate and improve the impact of your Storytelling like you never thought possible.

  Please bring a story material from your repertoire to work on and be ready to be challenged.

  The workshop is targeting oral Storytelling techniques, so please do not memorize your text, but be ready to work on improvisation as per oral tradition.
