Wednesday 19th of November 2014
Upstairs @ Ard Bia, Spanish Arch, Galway
The Theme for November is:
'The Surprise'
Doors at 8PM - Admission €5 -
tickets on the door
We are
delighted that The Moth & Butterfly night continues to grow in strength and
popularity. This exciting series of nights brings together the art forms
of both Storytelling & Improvisation. The night is Galway based but
also travels to festivals and events around Ireland and beyond.
Each
M&B night will have a special theme, and all Storytellers
will be invited to tell a story that fits with that theme. For 19th
of November 2014 the theme is 'The Surprise'
Stories
will be provided by the Moth and Butterfly Creative Crew, Guest Performers, and
of course, by the Audience themselves!
We are
delighted to return for our Winter Residency, upstairs @ Ard Bia,
Spanish Arch Crew and Audience alike are simply charmed by this gorgeous
space, and the hospitality of the staff. We will have our own bar upstairs
serving drinks for the event. if you fancy coming an hour or so earlier for
dinner, we highly recommend the delicious food downstairs. Be sure to phone a
head to book a table.
There
will be three types of Storytelling on
the night:
Moth style
stories must be short, true, thematic, and feature the teller themselves as a
character.
Improvised stories
will be created fresh on the spot – no two are the same!
Freefall stories
are all other stories that still fit the theme – from fiction to fairy
tales, to tall tales.
This is a
night for oral storytelling, so no reading or notes allowed – just pure story!
The night
is for both tellers and listeners, for without good listeners;
there would be no good stories! There will be opportunity for people to tell
and also to just sit comfy and join in the journey of the imagination.
Great
stories invite us in for a listen. They don’t always have to be funny by any
means. They draw from a wide emotional palette. We love to laugh,
but also to cry, to growl, to gasp. We invite people to tell stories
from the heart.
For more detailed information on how the night will work, please check out our page on Facebook.
The Moth
& Butterfly Crew is made up of professional performers, writers
and storytellers. They were inspired by the transformational nature
of improvisation (Butterfly) along 'true story' traditions around the world,
including the wonderful ‘Moth’ tradition of true Storytelling that originated
in the USA, and thought that the two combined would make for a very special
night. They are delighted to share this with Galway Audiences.
We also perform at festivals and arts events - please contact us for more
information and bookings.
Our
events attract audience members from all over the globe and welcome your
feedback.
"Galway's
