Step Into the Spotlight — One Story, One Day, One Stage

Join us for the Spotlight Story Lab: an immersive, full-day storytelling workshop where your story takes centre stage.

From 12:00 to 23:00, you’ll work closely with a group of just 6 participants, receiving two rounds of in-depth professional feedback on a story you’ve already prepared (max 10 minutes). Whether it’s personal, mythical, folk, or fantastical, we’ll help you shape it into something alive and resonant.

After a day of focused coaching, creative work, and shared meals (lunch and dinner included), you’ll take the stage at 20:00 in The Other Mezrab, performing your story for a warm, live audience. Friends and family are welcome to attend and cheer you on.

This is more than a workshop—it’s a full creative journey.
You’ll leave with a sharpened story, a deepened craft, and the experience of performing it live.

One day. One story. One stage.

We can’t wait to hear yours.
